I am applying for an S16 with a 3.1 GPA and 750 GMAT. I prepared for and was sorta expecting the question on low GPA in interview but it never came up, nor did I volunteer this topic.
Just wondering if I should've said something about it, or better leave it?
Should I have brought up my GPA?

Unusual to see someone writing in English about the Sweet 16.
Yes, bringing up weaknesses shows self-understanding and engagement with the role and task of the interview. It sounds like they had other concerns on their mind, and it's not a problem if you were focussing on more pressing topics in the interview.

Didn't realize it was an unusual acronym here as I'm new :)
Thanks Duncan, I let it slide, thinking maybe GMAT is a good enough counterbalance, but still it would look better.
