[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well in this area, she should be at least going to grad school.

But the idea of advertising your GPA on your resume - meh, I didn't do it 20 years ago and when I review resumes now for entry level tech jobs that require a degree, I ignore it. We routinely in the office roll our eyes over those posting about their 4.0 gpa.

When you are over 40 reviewing resumes, you tend to "meh" the gpa.  College was so long ago....[/quote]

How do people think she's going to get into any real grad program with a 2.3?[/quote]

You don't get into a good grad program, you get into wherever you can and demonstrate you can pull a 4.p and then your next grad program is at a good school.

The other alternative, and I know a guy who did this after  getting bad grades during freshman and sophomore years, is to re-do undergrad.  He didn't tell his new school that he had attended a prior school.  [/quote]

My H did this. He got a 2nd undergraduate degree at UMD and used that GPA to get into graduate school. It only took 2 years to get the 2nd degree.[/quote]
