Does GPA Still Matter When Recruiting for REPE After 1–2 Years as an Analyst?
Hey everyone,
I’m currently working as a first-year analyst at a top real estate lending platform and am planning to recruit into REPE or RE credit within 1-2 years.
I graduated with a 3.7 GPA from a coming out of undergrad at a target school.
My question is: How much does GPA matter once you’re already a working analyst?
Do REPE firms still ask for transcripts or bring it up in the interview process? Or does your deal exposure, modeling skillset, and reference quality carry more weight by this point?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s made the jump or been involved in the hiring process.
Appreciate any insights - thanks in advance.

Some firms will still care as you make the analyst to associate jump. Those firms are usually New York-based and more than a bit pretentious. They're not going to be asking for transcripts, but there will probably be a GPA box on the online application. If anyone thinks a 3.7 is a bad GPA though, that person needs shoved into a locker or a toilet.
Appreciate the insight - quick follow-up: are you assuming I'm not working in NYC currently? Just want to clarify since I am based here now. Curious if you think the GPA filter is more of a formality or if it actually plays a role in the jump to REPE from a lending background.
