GPA for PE Oncycle from Semitarget
Hey everyone. At a semitarget, and I was wondering what gpa I should end with to have a chance at the top MFs for on cycle. For context, at a semitarget with a fulltime gig for an EB.
Past a 3.7 people stop caring as much about GPA, you check the GPA box at that point. Obviously higher is better but the difference between a 3.8 vs a 3.9 is nil
Your group and whether they consistently place at your target funds will be the largest factor above anything else
Got it, heading to Moelis / Lazard / Evercore type of firm. Do you by chance know how these firms have fared for last 2 years on cycle?
It depends on your specific group, not just the firm. i.e. Evercore M&A vs Evercore C&R is a completely different situation.
You can look up some alums from your group on LinkedIn and see where they've gone. If it's mostly MMs, that'll likely be your landing spot as well. The MFs tend to pull from the same handful of groups year after year
agree with previous comment. anywhere above a 3.8 is 100% safe, and 3.7 is usually fine as well. if you were to be under that threshold, your experience would need to make up the difference.
does this pertain to MFs and UMM or PE oncycle in general
in general.
Bump any recent data?
I have found there to be a material cut off at 3.80. Note no rounding and they will ask for your official transcript to make sure ppl aren't doing BS like 3.78 -> 3.80. This is for semi-targets and non-targets only at these low to mid target banks. PJT RSSG you are fine with a 3.77 for example but not at like a Moelis. This for mega-funds only if you just want like a TJC don’t worry.
I don’t think this is true, all analysts I have talked to have mentioned u can round and that transcripts are not requested until offer is given during bg check
They do not ask for official transcripts before interviews though... There is so much wrong with this comment that it's actually harmful because of how fearmongering it is.
