Should I Put My Horrible GPA on Resume

Dear friends,

I am currently a math major at a target school and while I really told myself I was going to lock in this semester, I have somehow clocked myself a 3.54 GPA right before recruiting season. I'm wondering if I should even both putting this on my resume? Currently I don't even have my GPA on my resume because I was told that if it's bad there's no reason to put it there. I'm scared I won't even pass the screens. What should I do? 

thanks.

You should be leaving it on your resume. Anything 3.5+ is good, it’s just that it could lead you to a slight disadvantage compared to people with 3.7+, but considering that you’re at a target in a difficult major you’ll be fine as long as you network. Definitely do not continue to leave off your GPA, when people see your GPA-less resume they probably assume that you have a 3.2-3 or lower
