Should I include my GPA?

I have a cumulative GPA of 3.39/4.0, which isn't the best but it isn't terrible. However, I did my best during my final year of school and it resulted with a GPA of 3.78/4.0. Should i choose to show my final year GPA over my cumulative GPA? I am also looking a career in Investment Banking/Private Equity.

 

don't show final year GPA; it's great that you improved, but it's misleading and doesn't mean anything. If your major GPA is higher than your cumulative you might be able to get away with just saying "Major GPA: 3.X / 4.0) but otherwise just show your cumulative. It's not great but people are going to assume it's worse if you leave it off
