年代ecured FT offer but don't meet requirements

Hi guys, burner account because I know judgement is coming.

I am a senior about to graduate, and have accepted aFToffer atMMinIBD.
I've done my drug test and full background checks and successfully passed.
But I have one unresolved issue..
Im coming from a somewhat unconventional non-target (overseas university) and networked my way to an interview. I will be the first student from my university to be hired by this bank. The required qualifications on the website list standard requirements for most incoming analyst BA degrees, 3.0 CGPA.

Therin lies the problem, I do not have CGPA of 3.0, my CGPA is around 2.5. My Concentration GPA (finance) is around 3.5 but for cumulative does not meet the requirement. I have not lied, I did not list my GPA on my resume, nor did I disclose my GPA during the interview (no one asked) but I did knowingly fill out the application knowing I didn't meet this stated requirement.

Long story short, should I contact HR and let them know my overall GPA? Because I from what I've read on this forum it is inevitable that they will ask for my transcript.

Does the fact I do not have a CGPA > 3.0 make my offer invalid ?

Any Advice is helpful. Thank You.

Maybe this is sleazy, but I wouldn't say anything. You've already proven you can do the job, or you wouldn't have gotten an offer.

年代ince you already have an offer, who cares? If you networked, aced your interviews and overall proved you're competent, I doubt anyone would suddenly revoke the offer because you don't meet the GPA requirement.

To infinity... and beyond!

This gets asked way too often... if you're gonna mislead recruiters, at least stick to your guns. But as a general rule, just be upfront. Makes life easier.

In your case, don't reach out to HR. If they reach out to ask about the 2.5, act genuinely surprised and play dumb. Emphasize that you thought you had made it very clear that the listed gpa was major, not cumulative. Apologize for the misunderstanding, ask if they need any further info on the matter, and move on as if this isn't a big deal.

Don't end the conversation by asking if you still have the job. If they're going to pull the offer, make them step up and do it independently. Don't give them the opening.
