Audited courses... am I fucked?
I am currently a senior in college looking into deferred MBA programs. In the past, I audited and ended up not passing a couple of courses. Since the courses were audited, this wasn't factored into my GPA, which is a 3.9, but I am worried that if the admissions officers see the audited courses on my...
Sub Par GPA w/ Decent Experience at a Semi-Target looking for FT Advice
WSO Investment Banking Forum: I've heard/read a lot of what has come out of these threads over the past few months. However, while sitting in a cottage far, far away from my home is when I have finally decided to utilize this great resource. As we all know grades are starting to trickle in, and it...
Best Areas Of Finance For Those Lacking Math Skills
I have never been a stellar student nonetheless, I tried my best and Im about to graduate with very average grades and no relevant internships. I performed well up until I started college then I bombed as the material got more technical. I **test well in any subject that is dominated by theory...
Grades after junior year
So I am a junior econ major at a liberal arts school and got a C+ semester grade in econometrics (the organic chemistry of economics as they say). I currently have a 3.5, and I'm projecting that will go down this semester because of the bad grade in that course. I have a summer lined up in a MM...
Getting a C
Hey Guys would really appreciate some insight as I am having some difficulty making a decision.

bad grade in financial accounting-Will it haunt me in MBA admissions
As a second-year undergraduate, I had the misfortune of being put in the MBA section of financial accounting. Therefore, the curve was much tougher, and I ended up getting a C+ in the class despite having a fairly good understanding of the material. Would it be worth retaking this class later if I...
Advice on getting into a target b-school for IB?
Hi, I have an UG 2.9 GPA in Biology from a non-target. No background in finance. I was wondering what could I do to have a finance career in IB . I figured I would have to retool by getting a MSF , MS in Commerce, MMS, or 2nd Bachelor's. I know for IB prestige, high marks, and great OCR from a...
University Grade
Just wanted to know, although the minimum requirement to work at an investment bank is a upper second (2:1), do most people at investment banks (particularly IBD ) have a first class? Do I stand a chance, in this competitive recruiting environment, with a 2:1 for ibd jobs at BBs /elite MMs? Is it...
MSF to make up for poor undergraduate grades?
Hi all, I graduated with a B.S. in December of 2011 with a painfully sub-par 2.6 GPA. I want to utilize my firm's tuition reimbursement program in order to get a graduate degree, but I fear that I won't be able to get into any respectable programs with such poor UG grades. Would it be worth it to go...
Why is there grade inflation?
www.cbsnews.com/8301-505145_162-37243170/grade-in… I find it shocking that my undergrad school made the list. Anyway, why is there grade inflation? Does the fact that those who go to a target (who already have an advantage), get the added advantage of grade inflation? Does that corrupt the...
what about this..
Just wondering- how important is a substandard/ bad grades worth of bachelors' assuming one has already obtained a pretty good masters'? would this totally ruin one's chances at consulting?
Hairy grade advice
Hey everyone- I've been put in a situation by my UC school that threatens my upcoming recruitment cycle: I currently work as a summer analyst at a large ($2Bn) PE fund on the west coast. I got here because of my abilities in networking and interviewing. I am a Math & Stats double major with a winter...
