[quote=Anonymous]I feel like the posters in this thread are 45+ with high schoolers or young college students and speaking from their own experiences, which isn’t accurate or relevant.

Op is a little dramatic, and students are responsible for their own gpa. I don’t think parents would prefer a situation like my grad program where anything below a B (including a B-) is a fail and must be retaken.

And for the record, no one puts their gpa on their resume. That’s super tacky. Addresses and photos also do not belong on resumes. And please stop using Word templates with colors.

However, most applications will ask for your gpa. Especially anything in business or STEM. About half will also want to see a transcript during the process. I have twin college seniors. One in Public Health and one in Finance. Both had to submit GPAs and transcripts for internship and job applications.

It’s competitive out there. Hiring managers want to see what classes you took and how you did. They know every program is different so it helps them to see if an program is fluff or applicable content. [/quote]
