GPA on Resumes- Low grad GPA, high undergrad GPA

Hello,

I was wondering if I should put my grad school GPA on my resume... I just started the program (financial engineering), but the program is pretty short and as I see now, I'm being destroyed there :\ I'm expecting my GPA to be pretty low (around 3.0-3.3). However, my undergrad GPA was pretty high (almost perfect).

How should I act here? Is it not going to look weird that I have my undergrad GPA but not my grad GPA ? Should I leave out both of them, then?

Thanks.

Don't put it on, since it's in progress. Maybe it's 1 year, and the final GPA is assumed unreported. Grad school GPAs should be inflated, but you're MFE, so it's understandable.

Do not leave out your almost perfect undergrad GPA. I bet they will give you benefit of the doubt -- just start passing it out ASAP.
