Marketing a big bump in GPA at OCI
Any thoughts on how to positively spin a GPA jump (like .5 better) from Fall to Spring at OCI? Does it matter or is it basically just whatever your current number is? Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Don't bring it up. Talking about grades for any reason during an interview = bad idea.sca218ml wrote:Any thoughts on how to positively spin a GPA jump (like .5 better) from Fall to Spring at OCI?

Appreciate the response. How would you respond to a statement/question like: "Looks like you did a lot better 2nd semester".thesealocust wrote:Don't bring it up.

Is such a question (more like prodding statement) likely?

Re: Marketing a big bump in GPA at OCI
It's not likely. If it comes up, feel free to babble something about learning to take a law school exam. I'd still get away from grades as fast as possible, they're just not an interesting topic during the 20-30 short minutes you get in any interview.sca218ml wrote:Appreciate the response.
