Hello there, in my experience, generally, a GPA of 3.7 or higher on a 4.0 scale is considered competitive and safe for MBB applications

However, it's important to remember that GPA is just one aspect of your application. MBB firms also look for:

  • Leadership Experience: Demonstrated through extracurricular activities, internships, or work experience.
  • Analytical Skills: Proven through coursework, projects, or relevant job roles.
  • Communication Skills: Highlighted in your CV and cover letter, and further assessed during interviews.

You can strengthen your application, in case your GPA is slightly below benchmark, by showcasing exceptional achievements in other areas, obtaining strong referrals, and crafting a compelling personal story.

Good luck,

Maja
