Should I include study aboard GPA
Hi Everyone,
I'm studying aboard this semester and I did not do well academically. My school does not include aboard grade into GPA calculations, just pass/fail. I have a 3.8 on my school transcript and 3.0 abroad this semester. I was wondering should I factor in aboard grade on my resume? Is it unethical if I put a 3.8 on my resume? Thanks.
Did you study aboard a ship or a plane or a train?
Aboard. lol.
3.8 is pretty good, did you study English Literature?
different countries have different grading system and in almost all cases, average grades / GPA are much lower than in the states so no one ever puts their study abroad GPA on their resume.
Further to mtnmmnn's point, people expect you to have had fun while studying abroad - so no one cares what grades you got that semester.
