Message Name: I've secured an interview... now what!
Date Posted: 01/05/2000
Message: Okay, I have managed to get an interview with a midsize strategy firm. The jubillance i was feeling quickly dissipated when I was asked to bring a transcript with me. For anyone who hasn't read the entire thread, my grades were pretty awful. Hence, I am worried about presenting my transcript. My questions are: 1.) If I've been given an interview based on my resume, cover letter and GMAT score alone, are my bad grades enough to destroy my chances regardless of how well the interview goes? 2.) How do I present my grades? Do I try to just sweep them under the rug? Adress them aggressively? (Again, for those who haven't read the entire thread, I don't have any traumatic events to blame my grades on just sheer unadulterated laziness and boredom.) Thanks, your input is much appreciated.
