COVID messed me up, GPA plummeted to 3.4, am I screwed for PE and lateral opportunities?
Title does kind of explain it all, but essentially, I am a senior at an Ivy double majoring in Economics and History.

I am a junior @ a target and have accepted a summer analyst offer at a BB in the U.S. I did not include my GPA on my application or resume. To be frank, I have a bad GPA. You can shit on me, but I don't care (I've learned and have improved). I don't want to get into why I have bad grades. No one...
HOW important is GPA?
I go to a large public semi-target and I’ve noticed a very wide gap between the banks that people from my school with a 3.9 end up at for SA gigs vs those with a 3.8, and and even larger rift between those people and the ones with a 3.7. I’m wondering if this is more of a correlation vs...

In a pickle regarding my GPA
So I had a first round interview for an IB role at BB bank and ended up getting a superday for next week. Here's the issue: my interviewer had asked me what my GPA was (i did not list it on resume) and for some reason, probably because I'm an idiot, i blurted out 3.45. In reality, my GPA was a 3.3....
Athletes in Banking
Thank God it's Friday... I hope everyone is doing well. Recently I've been wondering if (former) college athletes have a disadvantage in their application/interview process due to lower GPAs?

GPA Rounding Question- Semi-Target Student
I usually write my GPA with two decimal points, but I was talking to a junior analyst at a top BB (think GS , MS, JPM) who told me its industry standard to round it to 1.

GPA on resume? PhD with no industry experience
