GPA Rounding Question
Prior to transferring, I had a high gpa near 4.0 for one year, then I transferred and got a ~3.4 cumulative at this new school. Should I/Can I "average" the two GPAs into one "cumulative college GPA" and keep that on my resume?
I was recommended to do this by a few people who work in finance, but was wondering your thoughts/opinions. Thank you!
When I transferred schools I was advised to put both schools on my resume with the previous gpa until I got a set of grades at my new school. No way you can just average two institutions grades like that though. I have personally never heard of averaging two completely different schools, with completely different programs, into one "cumulative average".
HR will fry ur ass after a background check, but a size 2pt footnote with adjusted description would be pretty funny.
In the same situation, I’ve been advised to average them out as long as they aren’t from community college. For me it’s both universities
Learning how to massage those numbers early huh
I went to a community college then transferred to a T20 school. I had my T20 gpa and then a “community college adjusted GPA”
