Hi I'm applying to jobs where there is an option to include GPA in the application. My undergrad GPA is a 2.5. Is it better to report the low GPA or not report at all?
Law school GPA is 3.7+.

Re: Low Undergrad GPA Report or not?
nobody will care, but I guess I would omit it. I think like two firms ask for your undergrad grades, and I doubt they actually care.

Don't put it as long as you can avoid it.

I'd omit. Most will not ask.

Re: Low Undergrad GPA Report or not?
I would probably omit. FWIW I chose not to put my undergrad GPA on my resume (it was roughly 3.4 so idk why I didn't put it on there). During a screener with L&W i noticed that they had circled my undergrad and put a big "GPA" with a ? by it. Probably doesn't matter for a majority of firms but it could raise flags.
