Include GPA on resume for consulting program?

Hey all,

I recently applied to a summer program with a consulting firm and was accepted. In the application, they requested a resume. On that version, I included both a cumulative and major GPA. After last semester, my GPA dipped below a 3.5 (I can't round it up to a 3.5 either), so I'm thinking about just listing my major GPA on my updated resume. Is this advisable, or would the assumption be that my cumulative GPA is lower than it is?

Thanks for your advice!

 

The program later this year invites participants to work with a team on a case for a few days. There aren't any explicit cumulative GPA requirements, but they'd probably compare the older resume to the current one and notice the drop. There are legitimate reasons for the drop, but I'm afraid they'd assume I slacked off and ding me right there.
