Hello,

If I have a GPA of 3.7-3.8 which is above the standard of 3.5 required by most top consulting firms and have a C on my transcript, does it hurt my chances of getting an interview? Basically if I have high GPA and one C am i at a big disadvantage?

Hi,
no, it doesn't. In the CV you should write only the GPA.

Hi,

Your transcript will be only checked once you are accepted and nobody really cares about the C there. Feel free to apply with the average GPA

Hello there,

Since there's limited space within a CV (ideally 1 page), only GPA should be shown.
Even if there's a deep dive discussion to your transcript, there should not be any severe penalties for it, but best to prepare some answers as to why is the case.

Hope it helps.

Kind regards,
Nathan
