Bain Application with low undergrad GPA and High Masters GPA

Hi guys! I am applied to two of Bain's offices in Africa  for the associate consultant role and even though I have a 3.61 GPA at my masters now, while I read actuarial science for my undergrad, I got a low gpa of 2.76 on a 4.00 scale. I applied to Bain with my transcripts from my Masters but today I got an email from the firm saying they needed additional information about my undergraduate transcript before they can review my application. I merged my current master transcript with my undergraduate transcript and uploaded it in the profile section of the application as the email instructed. Should I be worried? I am nervous

Hi, 

Since you showed an improvement in your GPA in your masters, there is a chance that they may not weigh high importance on your undergraduate GPA. You just need to wait and see.

Hi,

It really depends on the policies of the local office. Just keep fingers crossed and wait for the results.

Hello!

I would honestly mention the grades, since the last ones are the ones that will weight more

Feel free to PM! Cheers,
