Another GPA Question - School gives out A+ grades
Hi Guys,
Sorry, but I have a rather stupid question.
My school gives out A+ grades (4.33) and I currently have a GPA of 4.14 going into my third year. what should I put on my resume for applying to summer analyst positions? 4.0/4.0 or 4.14/4.33 ?? any recommendations or general practices with this? Academic advisers and recruiters that I have briefly spoken to all say just to list grades out of 4.0 but I didn't tell them that my GPA is above 4.0. does this still apply? Thanks for any tips on how to deal with this.
Talk with career services. They more then likely have dealt with this question before.
If your school gives out A+, then the official scale is 4.3 - which is what you have to put.
put 4.13/4.3
you know how wet that'll get a recruiter? how many times in your life will you ever lay eyes upon anything past a 4.0?
know that you have pocket kings and abuse that shit, bro.
best of luck.
Why not do this...
(4.14 / 4.33) * 4.00 = 3.82 / 4.00
I see no problems with doing that. However, if you put 4.00 / 4.00, you'd get screwed.
Because that's just plainly manipulating the numbers. Best thing for OP to do is to report as it appears on transcript. No modifications, just the plain 100% truth. Less worries for him.
That's like saying if I change 2/4 to 1/2 I'm manipulating the numbers. It's the same man. But, not changing it would be fine though.
well it's not quite the same since at my school A+ is >95% and A is >90%, whereas other universities here that don't give A+ give out "A"s for >85% or sometimes even >80%. But that is beside the point...
So most of you would say I should just but 4.14/4.33
I list out of 4.33 and everything's gone just fine for me. If you scale proportionally down to 4.0 your score actually appears less impressive than it really is.
