Sending transcript/resume

I currently have a 3.3 GPA, but am confident that after this semester I can get it up to a 3.5 since my course-load is much easier. My resume currently says 3.3, but I'm wondering if I should change it to 3.5 so that it isn't discarded right away when I start networking. Along with this, I'm wondering when banks ask for transcripts, since if they only ask for it at the end of the school year, then I'm fine assuming I hit the GPA I state. I know it's not the best idea, but I think it's the only chance I have of being given a shot at an interview.

 

Leave it off the resume entirely. neither a 3.3 or a 3.5 will meet the bottom cut. 3.7 is when you put on resume. Do no listen to above and start making projections on your GPA. Too much movement on something entirely simple. Leave it off. Emphasize your work experience. Depends on bank but often background check will run transcript and that is 2-3 months before start. Again, depends on bank. Leave it off entirely. 3.5 will not improve odds vs 3.3 in the way that you think.

Going to be honest with you here man and tell you no. 3.7 is the cutoff. if it was a 3.68 or a 3.65 I'd say put the 3.7. Anything lower is not worth getting dinged over. Picture this. On orientation day, you probably have 100 kids sitting in a room. Did their GPA stand them apart? No. Hundreds of other kids had 3.8/3.9/4.0. What nearly all 100 had in common is above a 3.7. Don't give them a reason to ding you. Leave it off. It's not that big of a deal just be impressive on other parts that reflect interest in job
