QUESTION 34 OF 35

What was your GPA when earning your bachelor's degree?

The CIA looks closely at a candidate's GPA during the hiring process, so the interviewer wants to hear if you meet their minimum requirements when earning your bachelor's degree. If applying for a position in the National Clandestine Service (NCS), one of the CIA's minimum requirements is that you must possess a bachelor's degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0. Describe your GPA when earning your bachelor's degree and the type of degree you obtained.

You want to avoid not remembering your GPA when earning your bachelor's degree or giving an incorrect answer if you forgot. Review your transcripts before your interview, so you are prepared to answer the question.

"My GPA was 3.8 when I earned my bachelor's degree in criminal justice."

"When working towards my bachelor's degree in international affairs, my GPA was 3.2."
