Leaving GPA off Resume

by MandA_Junkie (Orangutan, 307 Banana Points Points) on 4/30/08 at 9:25pm

Does leaving your gpa off your resume immediately raise flags. I have over a 3.0, which is tyipcally the cutoff where if its not higher you leave it off, but I still do not think its very good. If I have good work experience and are involved in clubs is there any reason why I wouldn't get interviews next year.

by Nightbreeze (Monkey, 30 Banana Points Points) on 4/30/08 at 7:58pm

I have been curious on this topic for some time now. I mean, it is perhaps easy to identify rising "stars" in tradition positions: people who make exceptional profits (although IIRC analysts are REALLY limited in what they can trade, right?).

But what about some less easy to quantify positions? For example, what would make an M&A Analyst/Associate a rising star?
