Getting screwed by the background check....

My friend is currently a junior at Cornell. To get a good internship after sophomore year summer, he told BlackRock he was a junior to apply. He got the internship offer, and now has the FT. He does not want to graduate early to take the FT though. He wants to use BlackRock as a stepping stone.

If he does this, and gets something else next summer as an internship, how could a background check screw him? As in, if the background check company asks BlackRock about him, and BlackRock say "Oh I thought he was graduating....we have him on file as a senior", would my friend LOSE HIS CHANCE to work at ABC firm or however issued the background check. Would BlackRock even be asked about that stuff?

 

So basically your "friend" applied as a junior. The only thing you can do is tell them you have to take more classes. I just don't know if large firms like Blackrock hold offers for such a long period of time. Its likely FT offer will go away and they may tell you to reapply at a later date.

Blackrock will have him on file as a senior. ABC would then have him on file as a super senior.

You can also be sophomore/junior/senior by credits completed but still have more classes to take than your peers in the same grade depending on the classes you take.

Also, the background check doesn't ask questions like that.
