CC transfer to Uni Resume GPA

This is my first semester at Uni, need help with my Resume. Do I list my CC on my Resume? I currently don't have a GPA at Uni as this is still my first semester and IBs require a GPA for applications to even process. Very confused about how to proceed. 

My CC GPA is 3.8. I currently work in Real-Estate FInance. I've been trying to get into M&A but I don't know how plausible it is with my current standings. Any advice is appreciated.

Thank you for responding. I like your idea, that is how my current Resume is formatted. My only concern is: Will banks even look at my Resume when they see a CC? 

 

do u need to disclose that u transferred? cant u just say youve been at that college since day 1, or will that show up in ur transcripts?

 

I do not have to disclose my CC but I cannot use my GPA from my Uni as I have none and also, I cannot use GPA from CC as my unis as that is dishonesty.

 

Have a similar background. Went to a CC for two years before transferring to my current institution. In my first semester I put both on my resume and, after I had a GPA at my current school, I dropped the CC and only left the current school portion. People rarely ask about the gap years because I was working so it doesn't have discontinuity but I still talk about CC in interviews as people are generally interested in hearing about non-traditional paths through higher education.

 

Ahhh definitely what I wanted to hear. May I ask you few more questions? Did you get your internship JR year? Or senior year? I feel as if banks will ignore my resume (very qualified RESUME) if I put CC.

And any advice on which banks accept people such as us?

My situation may be a bit different than yours but I am apart of a school with a fairly active transfer/non-traditional community. When I transferred, I gave up all my credits and went back to square one - freshman year - so I was able to recruit on-cycle with all the other "traditional" students. 

I received my IB offer for my junior summer during the spring of my sophomore year. I got my offer pretty early during recruiting season so I applied to 1 MM and 3 BB IBDs. I received interviews at all of them and offers at 1 MM and 1 BB. If you are an URM, I would highly recommend going through as many diversity programs as possible because you will have a really unique story that, I have found, people generally appreciate.

Your situation would depend on what year standing you entered with and the relative ranking (target/semi/non) of your current school. Happy to talk about this in more depth via PM if you are interested.
