How do you calculate major GPA?
Which classes should I use to calculate my Statistics major GPA?
1. All classes taken in the statistics department (10 stat courses)
2. Courses I chose to use to satisfy the statistics major requirements (4 math prereqs, 3 stat core, 3 stat electives, 3 courses in other technical departments)
3. Something else?
I'd prefer number 2 because I specifically chose courses I did well in to use to satisfy major requirements.
My school does not list major GPA on my transcript. I'm aiming for an internship at a quantitative prop trading firm.
Thanks for the help
many times, if you go on your department's website, they will tell you how to calculate your gpa. look under 'degree requirements' or something similar
Whichever gives you a higher GPA. I used #2.
Unfortunately there are no such instructions given by the major advisors or the department website at my school (UCB). How do human resources people expect you to calculate it?
To be honest, they probably don't give a shit. They're not gonna calculate it themselves.
GPA on Resume - Calculate your major GPA (Originally Posted: 02/17/2011)
How should you calculate your major GPA if you are double majoring in Economics and Government? Would it be odd to specify my Econ major GPA an then specify my Govt. major GPA? Or should I just call it major GPA and average my econ & govt grades?
If one is much better than the other, differentiate. Sometimes, if one is too embarrassing, you can just leave it out. Otherwise you can just average it and call it major GPA.
I think the normal way to do that would be to have your cumulative (overall) GPA as the highlighted number. If you would like, you could specify the major-specific GPAs where you list the rest of your school information.
Naturally, if one GPA is significantly better than the other, you can choose to feature it.
