I saw a job posting for Oliver wyman and it explicitly said you needed your gpa. I’m a 3.5 I generally don’t include it but I have 4 years of experience. Is it worth applying?

Straight out of undergrad you’d probably have issues with a 3.5 GPA but with 4 years experience (assuming it’s good experience) it shouldn’t matter all that much

GPA is used in undergrad screening but I doubt it would disqualify if you have much relevant experience
