Using "Senior Year GPA"

Resist the temptation to do this as most will see this as a flag that the rest of your prior semester GPA's are worse than they really are. 3.4 isn't great but there is definitely worse.

"I stopped being a bum" is not a special circumstance

"My dad killed my mom in a murder-suicide" counts as a special circumstance

You could always add as a specual circumstance "My balls finally dropped"

People are getting more and more creative these days....

I received 2 A's first semester sophomore year, 1 A second semester, and 2 more A's first semester junior year. Is it OK to filter the rest out and put down on my resume as 4.0 GPA??

just round it up to 4.0 and called it "rounded GPA" on your resume.

hahhaha bankers

put Dean's honor list and Senior year GPA cutoff for that immediately under your actual/major GPA then come up with a better way to explain your improvement (story like any other, ideally experience --> motivation --> tough classes + high grades)

This is kind of an off shoot of this, but what if you have a ok GPA in UG and then you go to grad school and have a much better gpa. Can you just list grad school gpa?

Just call it Pro Forma Adjusted GPA. Bankers do it all the time.

I talked with an investment banker and he said most people won't care if you admit you goofed off for a few years but then got serious for the last year in your undergrad.

If it's a guy interviewing him, tell him you were too busy chasing pussy and getting drunk for your earlier years; chances are, he was in your shoes at one point too.
