Expected vs acual GPA
Due to this semester beeing digital and the exams beeing online my GPA took a nose dive.
(-> exams grades 2.3 | 1.7 | 2.0 )
The worst thing about it as that those exams were so called "special exams" meaning that even though the workload was similiar to other courses those exam were twice as important and were therefore weighted double for the GPA calculation.
I am planning to retake those exams in my last semester and even if I were able to only get a 3.3 on those exams my GPA would go up by 0.5.
Therefore I was wondering can I justify putting an expected GPA on my resume that is so much higher than my actual GPA?
THanks
No
No, you can’t lie about your gpa. That’s all you are asking to do.
It isn’t an expected gpa, it is a “hopeful” gpa. Your resume should include your actual gpa, as calculated when you submit your application.
Thank you
For anyone who reads this: What is a good way to put a GPA on my resume if great Y1 - Y3, (4.0 ~ 3.8) but bombed my Y4 to go travelling (barely passing)
I'm thinking of putting a little dunce cap on myself but let me know what you think
There isn’t a great way of showing this, especially since the trend is the opposite of what you would want to see. My thoughts:
1) if your total average is above a 3.5 or so just use that and don’t bring attention to it. By doing anything “funny” with the wording you’ll open yourself up to questions, and if your gpa is above the threshold no need to open that door.
2) what is your major gpa? If you had most of your credits done by senior year then you may have lucked out by having your major GPA be a bit higher. That shouldn’t invite too many questions.
Currently a sophomore going through SA recruiting, I have a 3.4 Cumulative but its due to my first semester (built a business and sold it for ~$2M) after that first semester I have a 3.85 Cumulative. Major GPA is 3.8.
Can I only put Major GPA on resumes and leave out my cumulative with networking? Or should I put both?
If you sold a biz for 2m before 20 why are you recruiting for internships?
