Here is what I did:

On my resume, i included my cumulative gpa from my HOME school as the Transfer Credits did not count towards my HOME school gpa according to my transcript (it was recorded as 'Pass' or 'Fail'). Then, I converted the Transfer Credits according to the HOME school gpa scale and included them. Lastly, i then took my core Finance/Economics/Mathematics courses and bundled them to calculate the cumulative gpa so that Recruiters would size me up based on the critical core courses.

So, i posted 3 cumulative gpas on my resume for the Recruiter(s) to assess along with my Wall Street Prep Financial Modeling/Bloomberg/Reuters certification.

 

also, did you call your last GPA your Finance/Economics/Mathematics GPA or your departmental gpa? I think it would look better to say departmental, but my school only counts the upper level math/econ courses as departmentals, not the few semesters of basic calculus and econ 101 classes which i took freshman year and aced. i'd love to include those...

 

Just a note: Anytime I see a resume without an Overall GPA on it, I toss it. I don't care if your finance GPA is 4.0 ... by the time you're applying for full time jobs you've probably only taken 3 or 4 finance classes total.

Echoing what Chelsea said ... if you are doing any calculation yourself, something is wrong.
