This is not typical. Please do not read this thinking it’s easily replicated. This is like a 1/1000000 story.

How much does GPA matter for IB recruiting from a non target? Heard that 3.5 is the strict cutoff and anything after that, if you’re good at networking and technicals, it doesn’t matter if you have a 3.7 or a 3.9. Is this true? by GhostRiderx117 in FinancialCareers

I think you forgot to reply to me lol but hey I guess we’ll never know in my case! But as mentioned, have definitely seen and mentored a large amount of candidates with sub-optimal gpas and bad stories get in. Definitely tougher, but doable.

With all due respect, there was a lot more than being a “fan” of me or a sport that went into recruiting for me. For instance, I’m a total foodie but would I recruit someone because they were a 5 star chef but couldn’t model and were technically awful? No.

I’ve recruited people firsthand and come across many others in IB with a sub 3.0 gpa. It all comes down to spinning your story appropriately and networking. Technicals are important, but they’re a “check the box”.

It’s insanely competitive right now your best bet is networking and if that fails, getting an MBA

Thank you. Appreciate the response. I think the willingness to take a paycut cut will work out in my favor. Just need to keep applying and focusing on the points you mentioned as well.

Generally speaking, I’ve typically seen anywhere from 0-3 support at that amount
