GPA Resume Question

I currently have a cumulative gpa of around 3.2 Double major of psych and econ. Psych is a 3.7 while econ is a 3.1.

Should I try to give HR a heads up while I am applying? Note both gpa's on my resume?? I currently only have my cumulative.

I've been getting rejected for interviews by a few boutiques and was just curious whether it was just my gpa.

Have 2 internships... one at a BB and another in a boutique PE. So I don't think my lack of experience is the reason why.

Econ is more relevant and I'm guessing would only make you look worse.

and totally ignore my econ gpa?? I've thought about putting my psych major gpa, but then they'll be skeptical if I don't put my econ gpa there as well.

Wouldn't it look bad on my part if I only had one major gpa (not specifying which major) when I'm a double major? And when they ask for the clarification and then I'm forced to tell them.. would I be dinged automatically on the spot?

Thanks for the replies btw.
