Listed Major GPA on BB app; should I withdraw?

j74qr8:

Hi guys,

So a few months ago I applied to a BB's risk management program that had a GPA "preferred" minimum that my cumulative GPA was 0.25 points below. My major GPA was 0.01 above the threshold, and my career services office told me to list that number instead on the application. I thought nothing of it until I saw the thread about the guy at GS worried he would lose an offer because he listed his major GPA instead of his cumulative GPA. I did more research and I'm now worried that my application was disingenuous.

I've made it to final round superday, but should I withdraw? I'm not the usual finance student, I didn't do any big name internships or even major in econ/finance. I held summer jobs at restaurants. I really didn't know what the etiquette for this stuff was. I barely even applied to anything banking related, this is literally the only finance interview I've had. I had to google what "BB" meant.

I don't want to get an offer and take the spot away from someone else who might deserve it if I will likely just get rescinded when they see the GPA on my transcript being 0.25 below what they thought it was. Should I go down with my ship or is there anything I can do?

monkey shit me because im stupid

Sounds real shady.

I would send a note to your contact at the bank with a note describing that you have attached your updated resume for superday.

List your Cumulative and Major GPA on your updated resume.

In a sense, it will cover your ass if you get hired as you have disclosed this information to the bank.

If the original application had some online portion that locked in the higher major GPA in a section labeled 'cumulative' or anything like that, could put you in a bind, but who knows the likelihood of them caring/enforcing.
