Eh, if your major GPA is dramatically higher than your overall GPA, I don't think there's anything wrong with including it. Obviously a school can't report it but they might find it worth seeing. If they're in the same general ball park it's not worth it. (Since this is about law school admissions. I would not include it on a resume for a job.)TheMikey wrote:If you're including your GPA on your resume under the school attended, it should be the GPA from the school, not LSAC. Also, don't include your major's GPA, it's irrelevant, imo.

I would just put something like this, but with better formatting:brinicolec wrote:Thanks! One more question: If I transferred, should I include my GPA from the school I transferred from (NYU)? I currently have it on my resume but I also hadn't graduated college yet when I made it.
This is for law school applications, but if you mean in general, a lot of people do for the first 1-2 years depending on your industry.mukol wrote:Who honestly puts GPA on a resume out of UG?pittsburghpirates wrote:DCfilterDC wrote:I put "LSAC GPA: X.XX" and didn't put my school GPA, because my LSAC GPA was noticeably higher.

Well, I was floating around Harvard's site and came across three of their provided examples of resumes from past applicants and all of them did so... I guess Harvard applicants do.mukol wrote:Who honestly puts GPA on a resume out of UG?pittsburghpirates wrote:DCfilterDC wrote:I put "LSAC GPA: X.XX" and didn't put my school GPA, because my LSAC GPA was noticeably higher.
