GPA on resume

I know this topics been talked about a lot already but I’m looking for some input on my situation. I’m currently a sophomore majoring in finance at a semi target/non target. I had a pretty shitty second semester of freshman year and I’m currently sitting at 3.27 GPA. I should be able to bring it close to a 3.4 after this semester. I have my GPA on my resume at the moment and I was wondering if I should leave it on. Last semester I completely left it off since my GPA was close to a 3.0 flat and I noticed that I got a lot more interest with firms than I am currently. It could just be a coincidence but I was wondering if in my spot I should keep the gpa or leave it. I’m mainly focusing on building my resume with experience at boutiques right now and building up my gpa to recruit for a nice ft offer. Also I would love if anyone had tips on how I can stand out despite the low gpa.

Stopped reading at 3.27. Don’t put that shit on there. Usually 3.5 and above
