1st year MsF student with no GPA yet, how should I proceed on resume?

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently in the first semester of my MsF program and do not have a "real" GPA yet. I technically have a 4.0 GPA, as I received an "A" grade in the summer session we were required to do that was basically a review bootcamp of basic financial principles everyone should understand before starting the core classes in the program. However, I feel it would be inaccurate to list this on my resume, but I also feel that submitting my resume without a GPA listed or having to put "N/A" in online applications has not been ideal. For additional context, I went to a super non-target for undergrad (3.86 GPA) and am now at a strong regional target. If anyone has any advice on how to proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, MSF-2-IB
