Incoming SA, GPA might tank. Should I be worried?

I'm an incoming SA for a BB bank, when I interviewed and accepted the offer, my GPA was a 3.89. After a really difficult semester, looks like my GPA might drop to around a 3.65 cumulative. Should I be concerned that they will take back my offer or ding me from getting a full time offer after the summer? (I go to a non target, not sure if that changes the answer)

 

Once you get in the door, its your experience that shines after that. So focus on putting out and they will likely bring you back if you're good and bode well with the team.

In the same boat as you brother - had a 3.9 before this semester and ending with a 3.7 This semester's GPA was like a ~2.7, not pretty. What was your GPA for this semester?

 

Around a 3.3 this semester. The online learning has been a miserable experience for me. This is no way to do school imo. I just have been finding myself unmotivated and unable to pay attention. Before this semester, I was a machine when it came to school.

Glad to know I'm not alone in this. But ya, online learning has just been brutal. The library on my campus is closed, so I basically have nowhere to study. (It's also cold out, so I can't just find a table outside). It pisses me off how these schools are just expecting students to stay inside their apartments/dorms all day to watch online lectures and study. I don't get how people have been doing it, but for me, it's been absolutely terrible.

Can't believe I'm paying thousands of dollars for this absolute dumpster fire called online classes .

 

I feel you. My brother wrecked his grades this year as well, just can't focus/be motivated as he used to be. I've also noticed professors just be lazy and as unmotivated as the students - I had one class where the prof did not give a shit about answering questions, would post lectures late, etc.

 

Dude that's epic I'm getting bent over out here wish we had that option :(

 

Thank god others are experiencing this. Getting railed with online school. Can't focus for shit, profs care less, life isn't as regimented without my sport. Feel for the kids trying to keep their numbers up for recruiting and couldn't be more thankful I've got a return for next year. Fuck Zoom U

 

Cannot imagine. Sending every resource, interview prep document and networking contact list I can to my sophomore friends to try to make it easier. Imagine trying to network with 40+ random dudes at 15 banks rn while keeping up with class. I'm out here forgetting assignments weekly 😂

 

About to get my final grades at midnight, just waiting to see the damage haha this sucks dude

 

Same here GPA dropped by quite a bit this past semester. With a summer offer in hand, I have zero motivation to pay attention to fucking Zoom meetings. It's so easy to just close my laptop and exit whenever I'm bored.

 

When we have the infinite wisdom of the internet staring us in the face as the ultimate distraction, it's impossible to want to listen to zoom. I'm just praying summer internships are in person.

 

haha feel ya man, I'd open my laptop for attendance then immediately log off and take a nap or eat
