Will banks notice i've changed my grades?
I did a 2-day programme with a BB earlier this year, which wasn't even a spring week, it was just an introduction to banking day and then a day of charity work with them, but when applying for it I boosted my GPA up significantly to make sure I got on (knew it wasn't serious enough for them to bother checking). It turned out the programme wasn't very competitive to get on at all and we weren't fast-tracked or anything like that to internship interviews - it was more of a marketing thing.
However, I'll be applying for an SA with the same company in the fall, and this time will of course put my correct GPA (it will be much lower than i stated to them), do you think HR will pick this up? I did do a bit of networking within HR, but do you think they will remember my grades or refer back to my application for this event?
Your an idiot, dude. I'm sure they keep your resume on file.
They 100% keep your resume on file. The more events you attend for a specific bank, the more interested you appear. Therefore, they definitely keep track of it. YOU ARE DONE MY FRIEND
I'm sure they do keep resumes, but why would they go back and check your previous resume when they have hundreds and hundreds to get through? If they want to check you're telling the truth, that's what background checks are for.
Well here's the thing. Let's say the barrier to this event you went to was a 3.6, and you actually had like a 3.1 (I don't know what your definition of significant is, I'm just guessing a 0.5 diff), then with your current resume a red flag will come up. "This kid made it into the program with a much lower benchmark?" - Assuming HR scrutinizes carefully.
Or, if your GPA is in the sub 3.0s, you may not even get through the door even with the marketing thing on your resume. I wouldn't further lie about it though, whatever you do.
Why are you asking if you're going to counter the response you don't want to hear with your opinion that is based on your guess and assumptions? You just posted this to get a chorus of voices saying "it's okay" to reaffirm a belief you will stubbornly stick with.
Also, they have your resume on file so assuming they didn't identify the huge discrepancy when they invite you for 1st rounds and you somehow get an offer, they for sure will pull all the resumes then. Why wouldn't they run a quick scan for their incoming class to see if things line up. It's really ironic - what you thought you had to do to get a 1st round is exactly what might ultimately hold you back from getting an offer.

They keep you resume on file, but you should be fine. As long as they don't have a reason to go back and pull your resume you should be fine, its not a big deal. Just don't do anything stupid when your working there.
The other answers are from bullshit trolls. Start working on a story in case they pull it......made a mistake, etc.
You don't deserve it either way
You're a fucking fool.
don't worry about it dude. you applied to a bank, it's not like they'll do their due diligence or anything. oh wait...
You were an idiot.
But they should not go back and check it. If they do, I guess you have to tell them you got like a 1.5 in your last year to average it down. Either way, I doubt this program you went to is going to boost your resume that much if your GPA is that low to begin with.
Probably not, I listed my gpa as 5.0
Some schools have GPAs out of 5.0 Ex. MIT
Most HR offices at banks seem disorganized. I doubt they would notice or care, in reality.
However, I would prepare a story for why your GPA is different, just incase.
lol, probably places without standardized systems...
For starters, the bank where I got a job. I got in because of my previous comment.
But no, I didn't lie about my GPA on paper.
You my friend are a cheater.
