Hi guys,
Wondering if someone could give me a suggestion here. During my freshman and sophomore year, I had a 3.09 GPA - not too impressive. I play a sport that is a huge time commitment, so between adjusting to that, the college life, and having way too much fun, by grades suffered. However, I pulled it all together over my junior year and senior year (I'm in 2nd semester of senior now), and look to graduate with a 3.42. I will be closing out with a 3.93 junior fall, 3.28 junior spring, 3.65 senior fall, 4.0 senior spring. That's a 3.7 over my final two years.
Rather than listing my cumulative as 3.42, which is not banking-strong, is there a way I can list the 3.7 between junior and senior year? Thanks.
Need to list the cummulative GPA or else recruiters will catch on. You can see if your major GPA, upper division GPA, or business/finance GPA is higher. If that's the case, may want to put that on as well.
Unfortunately, no. But, you can be quick to bring this up in an interview and show how focused and committed you have become. don't make excuses for it though. in other words, give reasons why your gpa is rising, not why it was so low (if that makes sense). nobody likes a kid who makes excuses (sports, frat, EC's, etc.) b/c the majority of ppl on the street did the same types of things AND have a good gpa to show for it. Also, a 3.42 plus a sport is definitely good enough to land interviews if you network your ass off, so hopefully it won't even be an issue. good luck...
Should list the cumulative, but I'd assume your major GPA is higher given people tend to focus major courses on their later years; listing that could help. With the sport and a decent major GPA you should be ok
