Undergraduate GPA & Engineering Job?
I recently received a job offer from Raytheon for an access level commerce position, my current GPA is a 2. 89 (excellent description behind it, plus I work roughly 20 hours a week). But, the HR representative told me over the phone that it will need to be a 3. 0 by the time I graduate or they will have to rescind the offer. What I find odd is that the in conditions of employment listed in my offer it states nothing about a GPA. All it says is that I have to have proof of receiving my degree. So my question is, what if my final GPA at graduation is a 2. 97 or 2. 99? Will they really rescind it? And why isn't GPA listed in my offer if the offer is "contingent" upon it?

I see where you coming from since its not stated in the conditions of employment and many employer just want to see the degree. But, if that is what the HR rep told you then I would assume that was the standard and they will rescind it if you dont have a 3.0. Even though it is not listed in the offer there isnt much you can do about if they request your official transcripts and rescind the offer.
I suggest continuing to do your best and aim for a 3.0. If you dont get a 3.0, then just keep going through the hiring process and let THEM bring up the GPA issue.
