Hi! A bit off topic, but I am applying for this opportunity and when I am adding in my university education, it is asking for GPA. Does anyone know what would 2.1 be in GPA?

I am actually impressed with Ropes & Gray's relatively quick turnaround - glad to see people are hearing back already, whatever the news! Wish other firms were more prompt.- Lily721
