| I honestly do not remember my undergraduate GPA whatsoever. We told our first son that we hoped and expected that he would keep a minimum of a 3.0 (which is what he needs to keep his merit scholarship and to go on foreign study). All I remember was that I did just fine on my GREs , LSATs and GMATs and got into the two MBA programs where I eventually applied so my undergraduate GPA is a number that I no longer store in my over crowded brain space. Back in the 70s no one ever asked me what my GPA was in undergraduate nor did they ever ask for transcripts or "proof" that I did graduate....I suppose things could be different today. We "ask" our interns what their GPA is but we don't require verification from the schools (the interns don't know that however LOL). GPA is not a consideration for hiring, although I've noticed that quite often these days students put it on their resume...so it may have some influence with the recruiters subliminally. I will cousel my children NOT to put it on a resume and only answer if asked the direct question when interviewing. |
