GPA Question - Best way to put it?
I am playing around with the GPA on my resume, and I can't figure out the best way to put it.
My overall GPA is a 3.7, but my sophomore year GPA was a perfect 4.0 (I am a junior btw). I originally had Sophomore-Year GPA: 4.0/4.0, Cumulative GPA: 3.7/4.0 listed on my resume like so.
Do you think that is kind of corky? I was thinking about putting my "Business-Core GPA" since I haven't really gotten into my major yet, but have taken all of the core courses. The GPA for that would be a 3.95 or something. It is 6 A's and one B+. I am just so attached to having that 4.0 on there, but I am thinking that I should change it to the Core one because it may be viewed as more "relevant."
What is your take on this? Obviously a 3.95 is still good, but I think I get more attention by having that 4.0/4.0 line. Recruiters, do you think the Soph-Year GPA line is pointless?
Thanks
people are going to think you're weird with a 'sophomore year' gpa listed out separately, specially when your cumulative is a 3.7. just write your major gpa and call it a day.
Definitely don't do this. It's perfectly fine to discuss your academic progression in an actual interview, but no one lists their GPA per year.
A 3.7 is fine. Stop freaking out about a tenth of a point on your GPA. That won't be a deciding factor.
Truthfully, a 3.7 does accurately depict your academic performance- that's why you have a 3.7.
But a 3.7 is solid, that's enough- just list that and call it a day. You're not going to get a job over someone else with better experience because you have a 3.95 "core" GPA, and they "only" have a 3.7.
Wait what?
