yet another GPA question
So I received an offer today but my offer letter says cumulative gpa has to be 3.0.
my cumulative gpa is actually 2.985 (three digits).... is this going to be a problem?
BTW, I did not list my gpa on my resume so I never lied about anything and the interviews all went great. I also have a ton of great experience (bb internships etc when my gpa didn't take a plunge etc).
Thanks everyone
I guess my solution to this would be to say, fine give me a few months and go take a class at your university to boost your GPA to 3.0.
OR
Just round up, and hope no-one is the wiser and take the job.
OR and probably the best decision
would be to e-mail them ACCEPTING THE OFFER and at the end admit that you LITERALLY have a 2.99 GPA and hope that they can make a .01 exception, and that if they need any further reassurance that you are the best person for the job or if they have any questions to give you a e-mail/call.
I assume that the offer letter states that by the time you graduate you need to have at least a 3.0 GPA.
That being said, I agree with wildshoetwt. You can get your grades up assuming you still have classes to finishes. Or just contact HR directly and voice your concern with the offer letter. Emphasize the fact that you never actually stated you have a 3.0 GPA and it is not on your resume. Usually, the GPA is used as a screener to filter out the mass applicants, so I am sure they will be understand your situation.
Finally, in my opinion you were extended an offer because you handled the interviews well and were thought to be a good fit - to think that they will renege because your GPA was .015 off is absurd.
So just be brutally honest and good luck!
Thanks guys, the offer actually doesn't say if the 3.0 cumulative is by graduation but now that I think about it, that would make more sense.
well from a purely math/logic point of view you are fine (HR can't be douches though)
if the offer letter says 3.0 you are fine. If it says 3.00 you are short. Your GPA is equal to:
2.985/4.000 2.99/4.00 3.0/4.0
