There are thousands of hedge funds out there. Different ones will do it differently.
Easy answer: don't lie about your GPA.
I don't have any experience applying to hedge funds, but through my interview process at various companies, they have either asked for my transcript in the beginning of the process, or after I have gotten past a phone interview.
Honestly the feel I have gotten to ask for the transcript isn't as much to verify your GPA, which they will obviously do, but to evaluate the courses you have taken. Not all schools carry the same curriculum for their major.
Did you get asked for your official transcript or unofficial?
I've only gotten offers from two funds but yes, both checked GPA. There's no point to lying about your GPA, your pitches will be a lot more important for the interview.
Did you have to sign over the rights to your transcripts or did you just bring a copy yourself?
you have issues dude. seriously? do you have no ethical boundary?
Not sure about equities, but with a few exceptions, most tier-1 macro funds don't really care about your GPA at all, but they do verify it.
Do HFs typically verify SAT scores?
