Another GPA Question - School gives out A+ grades

Hi Guys,

Sorry, but I have a rather stupid question.

My school gives out A+ grades (4.33) and I currently have a GPA of 4.14 going into my third year. what should I put on my resume for applying to summer analyst positions? 4.0/4.0 or 4.14/4.33 ?? any recommendations or general practices with this?
Academic advisers and recruiters that I have briefly spoken to all say just to list grades out of 4.0 but I didn't tell them that my GPA is above 4.0. does this still apply?
Thanks for any tips on how to deal with this.

 

put 4.13/4.3

you know how wet that'll get a recruiter? how many times in your life will you ever lay eyes upon anything past a 4.0?

know that you have pocket kings and abuse that shit, bro.

best of luck.

Why not do this...

(4.14 / 4.33) * 4.00 = 3.82 / 4.00

I see no problems with doing that. However, if you put 4.00 / 4.00, you'd get screwed.

Because that's just plainly manipulating the numbers. Best thing for OP to do is to report as it appears on transcript. No modifications, just the plain 100% truth. Less worries for him.

That's like saying if I change 2/4 to 1/2 I'm manipulating the numbers. It's the same man. But, not changing it would be fine though.

 

well it's not quite the same since at my school A+ is >95% and A is >90%, whereas other universities here that don't give A+ give out "A"s for >85% or sometimes even >80%. But that is beside the point...

So most of you would say I should just but 4.14/4.33
