Applying - Cum. GPA

When applying, most firms require you to apply through the school's career website as well as the firm's official online system.

The career website requires a resume. The online system has a section asking for "Cumulative GPA."

I have a 3.9 MAJOR GPA (which I put on my resume), but a much much lower cumulative GPA (which I don't put on my resume) due to the switching of majors.

Question: Am I screwed? - Do I have any other option other than just listing the low cum. GPA on the "Cumulative GPA" section of the online application?

Thanks so much in advance!

What's your cumulative? You pretty much have to be honest and put that in for the alloted space.
