You sound like a great candidate except for one thing, GPA. 3.15 is low for any bank's standards. Luckily, everything else is excellent so see what happens. Don't limit yourself to only banking positions. Do you have any academic awards? What is your major GPA?
You should list the specific relevant courses rather than just saying accounts/finance. Is your major GPA higher than your overall? If so I would list it then.
Unfortunately my major GPA is a below a 3.0 and that is bringing my overall GPA down. There was a semester that killed me and I thought about changing majors, but now I decided to just focus on getting a 4.0 and bringing that up.
I realize that my GPA is killing me and I am definitely looking at other finance positions. Thanks for the comments. Anything else?
Break the courses out (list up to 8-10 of them)
Relevant Courses: Corporate Finance, Financial Accounting, Intermediate Macroeconomics....
To dilute the GPA, did you have any semesters on Dean's List? Did you have a great SAT?
One semester on dean's list (3.83 GPA) and mediocre sat - not worth mentioning.
Also, how can I list two important courses that I'm taking this semester: intermediate financial accounting and financial management.
Also can I round a 3.15 to a 3.2?
Thanks!
I am gonna get heat again, but how bout just rounding the GPA up. 3.2 is almost a B+ which isn't horrible. If you do some networking and explain how it was one bad semester, but you are now turning it around then it should be fine.
Coursework (Current): Financial Accounting, Public Finance, Intermediate Macroeconomics, Intermediate Microeconomics, Calculus 1 & 2, Financial Management and Intermediate Financial Accounting*
Is it clear that I'm taking Financial Management and Intermediate Financial Accounting this upcoming semester?
Also does anyone else have thoughts regarding putting 3.2 down for my GPA ?
Thanks to everyone for the help!
I think its pretty good; but put the contact details into one line
why don't you try 3.2/4.0 (rounding up)? instead of 3.15/4.00?
Thanks for the comments guys!
I've made some changes if you would please take a look.
