Getting an MBA part-time. My GPA is about a 2.75 so far. Not too concerned, but if I am up for partner later in career will this come up? Do transcripts matter anymore? Only thing I’m nervous about.

No one cares about GPA except for direct out of college. At that point it’s one of the few metrics that show your potential to succeed. I busted my ass in undergrad to get as close to 4.0 as possible. In the MBA program, after getting experience I did just enough to get a B.

@senior so if I’m up for partner in 7 years they won’t look at transcripts? What if I decide to move to industry? I’m almost 30 btw

funny

I don’t think the gpa matters unless the firm is reimbursing some of your tuition and there is a minimum gpa you are required to maintain for that reimbursement. MBA’s aren’t required for partner promotion

if you are not speaking from experience dont answer. all big 4 and other national require online applications with transcripts. i know people over 50 who had to request college and mst transcripts to submit. also know partners who merged in to firm age 50plus who needed to provide transcripts. maybe it didnt effect position but grades are definately not
behind you once you start working

This is helpful!

Nobody cares about your GPA, just the degree. I have found where GPA is applicable is for those who are fresh out of college and have no work experience. In that case GPA provides a little insight to level of effort and commitment. My two cents anyhow.
