Making up own GPA section
I am a business major with a concentration in finance. Thus far I've only taken one finance class so it would mean nothing to list my concentration gpa. The problem with listing my major GPA is that its pretty much the same as my real GPA (i.e. not better) but also includes a lot of classes (Business Ethics, Business Information Systems, Business Law) that just aren't all that relevant to finance. If I were to list my Econ+Accounting+Finance GPA in lieu of my Major GPA would that be acceptable for IB recruiting? I've taken 10 business classes so far but only 5 Econ/Accounting/Finance classes.
too fishy.
So it'd look like: Econ, Accounting, Finance GPA: X.XX
I think it's a bit obvious what you are trying to do here...
If this is for your resume, it seems fine to me as long as 1) you clearly indicate that it is your GPA in economics, accounting, and finance; and 2) you also list your overall GPA.
However, if you're filling out a form that asks for your major GPA, I don't think it's right to put anything else.
So you are just gonna make up a GPA? Might as well put 10, then justify your response by saying you are a man dime.
I would think this would hurt you more than it would help you. Certainly it would raise some red flags as it doesn't really look like you're culling out relevant courses so much as it looks like you're just trying to manipulate numbers.
How much of a difference are you talking about between this made up GPA and your real GPA/major GPA?
what about something like 2012-2013 academic school year GPA to show a trend?
^ I agree. OP, if you like finance and you can make good grades in it, make it your major.
lol... what you're doing is beyond gaming - it's straight lying
but you can probably get away with it because i doubt anybody actually checks
