why would you post your UG gpa?

Firms don't require it, and besides, it's not impressive...no offense

I don't know too much about UVA's curve, but I suspect firms will be more impressed with your LS gpa than your u-grad gpa so you should feel free to leave your u-grad gpa off of your resume.

The only time I've heard that people should put their undergrad gpa on their resume is if they're applying for IP and have a hard-science background.

If you got Latin honors, I would put those on, but the GPA is pretty irrelevant

Assuming that's UG dean's list... I'd put it on if you don't have to create a new line for it (on my resume, it shares a line with thesis honors, which definitely does go on there). Otherwise, don't bother. I doubt it matters, which is why I wouldn't waste a line on it.

Your LS GPA won't be on the official transcript that firms get from UVA. (Whether you want to put it on your resume is a different question.)

Yeah there is no transcript that you can get that has your GPA on it at UVA law. Makes me suspicious...
