When applying for BCG, do they ask for transcripts for undergrad GPA even if you are experienced hire? My GPA was like 3.0 and it is too low but don’t want them to check

You are required to put the GPA in a box on the online application (or at least you were when I applied, I guess it’s been almost 10 years now).

My undergrad GPA started with a 2, no one cares if you have more recent and relevant evidence of academic success.

I have a 3.5 undergrad gpa and BCG hasn’t even looked at me. It’s my dream company how do I get my foot in? I have Deloitte Strategy experience and a CFA L3 candidate

No idea about applying, I don’t think they ask. I didn’t have my GPA on my resume so I don’t think it matters.

If you get an offer, they’ll have a background check company verify your resume. To show education, they’ll ask for transcripts. But I requested the background check and there are zero details on it. Just yes or no if you graduated and what your degree is.

Just don’t put your gpa on your resume or lie about it in the (unlikely) event that anyone asks.

Justin had my background check (I'm a lateral hire), they explicitly asked me just to enter details for my most recent degree (which is my masters degree).

Hi,

Is it fine to call a HR if he's not answering. I have my HR discussions pending.

I called him once a day (twice on 2nd day with a gap of 4-5hrs in between)
for two days straight and third day he picked my call for scheduling the final interview.

It's been a week & he told I would receive a call from his team before today, but didn't receive.

Can I call him to remind or just keep on waiting till I receive a call from them.

Getting a reply for mail is highly unlikely. Please suggest

The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks
