[quote=Anonymous]GPA is used as screening in many online applications for recent graduate jobs. If a kid lies to get through the filter and maybe get an interview, as soon as the job asks for a final transcript, they’d be found out. I have a summer grad in CS with a 2.98 gpa. A rough first semester combined with pandemic pass/fail on a couple of classes (too much uncertainty around how professors were grading) and a credits from AP and CC that don’t factor into GPA (even though they were As), meant he had a rough time trying to bring it back above a 3.0. Combine that with all the recent tech layoffs and he (and several friends) have been having a tough time getting any responses from anyone.[/quote]
