investment banks care about transcript, really?

<p>Not trying to pick on anyone here, but thought I’d offer my two cents. Transcripts are checked at all of the top bulge brackets - I can personally confirm for IBD at GS, MS, and DB that transcripts are indeed screened post-offer (personal experience including internships/Full-time).</p>

1. Georgetown is not a low target. At a few of the top firms its the #2 recruited school behind Wharton. There is one or two we don’t have as much representation, but that’s the exception rather than the rule.

<p>Just curious - what do you mean by top firms? Georgetown is certainly NOT the #2 recruited school at GS or MS. One interesting tidbit - of the few Georgetown people I met at my bank, they have all been SFS alums, not from the b-school.</p>

<p>will taking all your classes at a school like Wharton or MIT and getting a 3.9 GPA make you stand out, or do they look at the difficulty of each class you took at MIT or Wharton also?</p>
