Bumping Up GPA
Hi guys, I currently have a 3.4 at a target and am applying to IB SA2021 positions. I heard cutoff for most firms is 3.5. I currently have a 3.4 but will have a 3.5 by the end of the sem most likely. Should I put 3.5 as my GPA? If it helps in any way, I'm also an engineering major, which could maybe explain for the lower GPA? Thanks in advance
I wouldn’t, if they ask for transcript at any point during the process you’d be in big trouble
They ask for it when you sign your offer and once again when you start FT, assuming you get a return of course. Though I know Qatalyst, PJ Solomon, and some MM firms require a transcript during superday, so just keep that in mind.
So you're asking whether or not to lie about your GPA? Tf?
You could do it, but be prepared to defend with confidence if brought up. I did something similar and it was never brought up. Have a friend who averaged CC and target GPAs together and he’s at PJT/EVR/CVP FT. They don’t give a fuck. There’s kids putting study abroad shit and god knows what else to their cumulative GPA. Dont listen to any of these butt hurt little prospects in here.
In the similar situation. Wouldn’t your friend get in trouble when companies check the transcript?
Write 3.5 and if there is a chance highlight that it's EXPECTED GPA. They will not have any problem in 0.1 difference if you were still pursuing...
