Any advise or insights will be helpful.

Recently, I applied to a company for a software developer internship (Very big multinational company but not primarily tech). I had a phone interview with the HR and then 2 interviews with the engineering team. During the phone interview, the HR rep. asked me for my GPA, since its low and not mentioned on my resume. Hesitating I said 3.0 when in fact, it is 2.8. Well, that was over and I did very well in the other 2 technical interviews.

Turns out, I have been offered the position. However, they will be doing a background check (vendor is First Advantagee). Do you guys think they will access my transcripts and verify the GPA amongst other things?

Some things I have heard so far...

1. most of the time, companies only check to see if the applicant is enrolled or not and degree status.


2. Because of FERPA, most schools will not disclose transcripts and GPA information.

Has anyone gone through something similar ?

Thanks.

School give out transcripts all the time, but you generally have to request them be provided to the company. They may ask you to do this, so that they can verify your GPA, they may not. That is company specific.

However, if they ask and they find out you lied, then your offer will most likely be withdrawn. Never lie about something in an interview, it can cause you to be fired even years later. This is a horrible habit to get into. Stop yourself right now.
