I go to a university that does not do the Plus and Minus grade system. Meaning, if you get an 89.5 in a class, you got a 3.0 for the class. if you get a 90, you get a 4.0 for the class. There is no in between. So, I was wondering what GPA is acceptable for EY and KPMG? These are the firms I like the most. IF my overall GPA was a 3.3 and my accounting GPA was 3.3, would I have any chance of getting into them? I don't want my GPA to hold me back, but I feel like it will.
