GPA Barrier

Hi,

There is no High School GPA Barrier since they never ask you to pt High School grades in your resume. Pls apply with your Batchelors and Masters GPA

Hello!

Honestly, seems quite extrange that they are even asking you about that! Normally they would only focus on grad and masters.

I would directly omit that information -and they won´t follow up on that if you indeed provide the info from your bachelor and particularly your masters-.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi,

with bachelor and master GPA in the CV nobody will care about your high school. I recommend to omit it at all

Dear A,

In your situation with a very low GPA in resume, try either not to show it or get an internship first trhough a referral, and then through the internship try to secure your full-time offer.

Make you internship as soon as possible that you can have a couple of tries. Ideally you comlete 1-2 internships, before you greduation in consulting.

If you have any questions, reach out to me and I can help you.

Best,

André

Dear OP,

There's a lot of advice recommending that you leave out the highschool GPA. This is true for the US, but not necessarily for other countries. In Germany, for example, it is an important factor and often a strict barrier which can only be circumvented by a referral. In those cases, I suggest you go to events, as you seem to have already done successfully, and connect with people in the company. The higher up, the better - senior partners can get almost anyone invited, associates cannot.

Good luck!

I've posted it in another thread about an article I read some time ago that is very detailed on How a resume is screened at major consulting firms. In short, the ariticle says that undergrad GPA is going to be the deciding factor. Hope it will be helpful.
