List a 3.2 GPA on Transcript
T14, aiming for biglaw. My unofficial transcript comes in two flavors: with GPA or without. My GPA is 3.22 with two A-'s and one B-. Everything else was just Bs and B+'s. School median is B+. Should I have the GPA there?

3.2 is below median, but not that far below median. by omitting your gpa, an employer would assume you had a sub 3 gpa and were at the bottom of your class.

Similar gpa situation as OP, but at CLS where GPAs aren't published anyways. Should I manually calculate it and list it?

Re: List a 3.2 GPA on Transcript
If law firms get your transcript anyway (and they will at OCI), calculating GPA is completely superfluous. They're not stupid-- they won't "assume your GPA is below 3.0" if you don't calculate it when they have your grades right in front of them...

Re: List a 3.2 GPA on Transcript
check with your school whether you are even allowed to list your GPA. CLS, for example, won't let you.
sorry i didn't mean to post anonymous. it's somewhatwayward.

Re: List a 3.2 GPA on Transcript
oops. sorry i misread. i thought for some reason you were talking about listing it on a resume. if it's a transcript, i agree with everyone else: having it restated there is superfluous.
