Hey everyone, in a bind and really need some help. I am at a fairly well-recruited state school about to start a 2 yr macc program with hopes of landing big 4. I transferred from a cc where I had a 2.8 gpa, and when I went to do my bachelors I completed the remaining 60 credits with a 3.8+ (my 2.8 was not calculated as part of my new gpa)

Now, I am about to start my macc and I am afraid what will happen if recruiters want to see my transcripts. If they ask for my transcripts for the school I got my undergrad degree from it will be obvious that there must have been another school. Is it common practice to ask for transcripts from all schools attended? Has anyone had a similar experience. Thanks.

I was in a similar situation, but my starting gpa was much lower. I'd try
to find someone (professor, senior, manager, recruiter) who can vouch
for you, or try to be as active as possible on campus while still
maintaining a high gpa.

It might be a bit tougher to get that offer, but definitely doable.

This is a complete non issue. Your undergraduate degree
GPA is 3.8, period. The firms will eventually see all your
transcripts. They will not care one bit.

Acaden, that does make me feel better. Out of curiosity have you went through the big 4 recruiting process yourself?

Yeah, I'm a former Big 4 senior. I helped out with campus
recruiting every year.
