I had multiple interactions with GP Fund Solutions over the course of a year, and unfortunately, each one left me more disappointed than the last. I’m sharing my experience in the hopes it helps others know what to expect.
First Interview:
The first time I interviewed was for a role led by Carolyn. Overall, it went fairly well — she seemed to like my responses, though there were a few moments where she seemed slightly annoyed by some of my answers. After the interview, my recruiter told me Carolyn was still interested but wanted to know more about my undergraduate GPA. I explained that I had faced health issues during college, which impacted my performance.
Second Interview (Follow-Up Role):
They later invited me to interview for a different position. This time, I spoke with a male director. During the interview, I implied that my GPA was on the lower side. Not long after, he abruptly left the interview claiming he had to tend to something — which felt suspicious and awkward. When he returned, he asked why I hadn’t done an internship during undergrad. I gave a thoughtful explanation, but he just said “OK” and moved on. The entire interaction felt off — like they had already made up their minds and were looking for a reason to disengage.
Final Application (Post-Master’s Rejection):
About a year later, I applied again after completing my Master’s degree with a strong GPA and gaining relevant work experience. Despite this progress, I was rejected outright because of my undergraduate GPA. They didn’t offer an interview this time, which made it clear that earlier academic struggles still outweighed my later accomplishments in their eyes.
Overall Impression:
GP Fund Solutions appears to rely heavily on rigid academic filters, especially undergraduate GPA, without giving much consideration to growth, context, or more recent performance. My experiences also raised concerns about professionalism during interviews.
