    Hey all,
    I interned almost a year ago at a Big 4 firm and received my full time offer for Fall 2019. My offer states that I must maintain a 3.0 in both accounting and overall. I am in my MAcc program and received a 3.5 last semester but still have this semester and summer courses to take. I finished undergrad with a 3.0 in accounting, and a higher overall gpa. I go to a very difficult top 10 program and am worried my tax 2 class will drop my accounting gpa below a 3.0 since almost everyone gets a C in it. That is only if the firm will continue to use my undergraduate accounting gpa. If they don’t use it, my graduate gpa is a lot higher and I have nothing to worry about.
    Does anyone know how the firms calculate the gpa for new hires? Will they use both my undergraduate gpa and my graduate gpa? Or only look at my graduate gpa? I know I am required to send in both my undergraduate and graduate transcripts, which only list my overall gpa not my accounting gpa.
    Thank you
