I am wondering how I can best display my GPA

Hey all, I am wondering how I can best display my GPA. Currently my resume just states my cumulative GPA at 3.1. However, I have many GPA’s that I could use. I am a double major, econ and finance, at a semi-target school. This is how it breaks down. Cum 3.1, Business (accepted into faculty of business after second year) 3.2, Finance 3.5(and should rise at end of semester/year), Econ 3.2.

How much better will my resume look if I state my cumulative and finance GPA, given the fact that I will only be stating one of my majors? Will this look bad, should I state both majors, and even just my finance major excluding my cumulative?

I have good EC’s and a solid boutique IB experience along with other related summer positions. I was able to land 2 first round BB interviews and one second round early in the recruiting season, but things have been pretty dry ever since. I am open to corporate banking, transaction services/advisory and especially smaller boutiques. At this point I am just trying to increase my chances at getting some more interviews.

What do you think? Thanks.

 

You could list the Finance GPA but the people looking at your resume aren't stupid - they will know it's because your cumulative isn't as good.

I would personally list both of them. That way you show that although your cumulative isn't great, you've been improving.

 

I would list it like this:

GPA: Finance (3.5), Economics (3.2)
