A resume is a marketing document in which you want to present yourself in the best possible way. The goal is to get in the door for interviews. Not putting a GPA on your resume may raise some red flags but putting a GPA of 2.0 would raise even more red flags. I would not put a GPA of 2.0 on the resume. I would leave the GPA off the resume or put the major GPA is it is higher and it includes a reasonable number of classes.
I would second the major GPA part. I had a similar set of circumstances starting out, but thankfully my major GPA was 3.7 so I just listed that and not my overall which was like 2.4.
I assume you’ve been asked about your cumulative GPA in interviews then right? Cause typically I’ve heard that just putting your major gpa is a big red flag too.
I just listed it as the GPA and let them ask the question of major or general if they wanted to. If they did ask, I just (correctly) pointed out that I was there to study economics, not rehash U.S. history courses or learn about Cezanne and his paintings.
Lol that's true. In my freshman year I took a lot of random ass humanities and philosophy classes
