Dilemma - Currently at a target school

Hey everyone,

Had something on my mind that has been bothering me for a while so wanted to get all of your thoughts on it.

I'm currently at a target school, but transferred here from community college. I have been going through the interview process and have some pretty good propects.

My GPA at the community college was not very good,

 

dude. you're cool. i wouldnt worry b/c obviously if you could transfer from a community college to a target school and get some really awesome grades you have ambition and drive. Say nothing and hope for the best. I don't think it's a big deal at all.

Thanks for your responses.

Ok one more thing, my GPA did go down a bit (about .05) this past semester.

However the GPA on the resume that I submitted to the banks has my GPA from before the semester ended (when it was the highest), as I submitted through contacts early. Would that make a difference?

So now there would be a small difference between the GPA on my resume and my institution GPA, and a large one between the GPA on my resume with my overall GPA.

I would definitely be worried less if this was not the case, but I think that this may cause HR to scrutinize everything a little more.

Let me know, thanks!
