Should I list my 3.1 GPA in my resume?
So I went to a non-target and I have a 3.1 GPA. Should I include it in my resume or not if I want to break in to banking? I appreciate any type of advice.

I wouldn't. There's no reason to call attention to it since it is fairly low. You may still get asked about what your GPA is though
I listed my 3.3 and still got a SA offer and several other SA interviews. I’m just student but I’ve had to sort resumes before and when I see no GPA I automatically assume it’s below 3.0. Also you’re going to have to enter it into the application when you apply and if you’re networking and you send a resume with no GPA I’d bet one of the first questions you’ll get is “what’s your GPA” a lot of times
My GPA within my college (separate undergrad business school) is significantly higher (3.5 vs 3.1) due to getting better grades junior and senior year. I list my gpa as “name of college GPA” which I think is less noticeable than “Major GPA” or any other way of spinning it. Important to note that if they ask you about it, you have to be honest about what the GPA means and you can’t lie about your actual cumulative gpa. But I’ve found that just seeing the number “3.5” makes them do a mental box check and move on with the rest of the resume. This way you have a better shot at getting on the phone with someone and explaining your GPA rather than being dinged for having a 3.1.
Some people may be annoyed that I do this, but as long as you’re honest you have nothing to worry about.
I have around the same. I would say anything above 3.0 you should list. A lot of people on this forum bash having under a 3.5 but you still have a B average. They will ask for your GPA anyway
