Honestly, unless they specifically request your undergraduate GPA (some kind of Big 4 resume format,) I would assume that my graduate work is much more important and that it would make your undergraduate GPA irrelevant. Make your resume shine and, if selected for an interview, have some kind of explanation ready if they ask about your low undergraduate GPA. My interviewers had my transcript on their desk during on-campus interviews. They had even highlighted specific bad grades and asked about them.
For what it is worth, I got into a Big 4 with a 2.8 major GPA and a 3.0 overall (undergrad.) Though I had some non- Big 4 accounting experience from past summers. |

How in the world did you get into the Big 4 with those grades? Big 4 firms usually have minimum GPA requirements of at least a 3.3. The fact that you were accepted is quite astonishing...almost unbelievable.
