Do background check companies verify your gpa with your school or do they just verify that you actually went to the school?

They can request both. If the job requires a minimum GPA, they will check it. But if not, they will typically just get confirmation of graduation and date.

idk how it is for you but there's a team here whose sole job is to collect and audit official transcripts...

Request a copy of your check, it'll give you a good idea. They usually just verify attendance and degree via online system and will call if your school isn't in the system.

The companies will only do a deep dive if they're being paid to.
