Average Mark or GPA? (1 Viewer)

When seeking employment in a company say like the big 4 accounting firms, is the average mark more important or is the GPA more important?

Both in a way... Basically a credit average is what they'd expect as a minimum standard. If I'm not wrong, that's greater than or equal to 5.5/7 and a WAM of 65

I'm pretty sure it's your GPA that's most important, because they won't usually look at your transcript until you've passed the preliminary stages

It isn't impossible to get up there with a lower average, work hard and you can get there but in that case you usually bed something which sets you apart from other applicants such as extracurricular's or previous work experience.
