Would I get dinged if I were to put "Sessional GPA" on my resume instead of my overall GPA? I probably had around 2.9 in my freshman year (classes get scaled to around a 3.0) but managed to achieve a 4.0 my sophomore year. Alternatively, are there any other ways I can reflect my improvement on my resume?

Put pro forma gpa
LTM 4.0 GPA
I'm not asking this rhetorically to prove a point or dunk on you, but legitimately just wondering: what does "Sessional GPA" even mean?
Sorry, I think the term is more common in Canada. It's the weighted average for all courses taking over a session. It's an official term at a lot of schools, UofT is one example.
Ahhh, okay that makes sense, thanks

You can put your major GPA on your resume as well if it's higher
I've seen a lot of people put: Major GPA / Finance GPA / UDGPA / etc.. without putting their cumulative GPA
will u get dinged for doing this?
