Not true. During second year recruiting we were to.d that if is is over a 3.0, put it on. That was georgetown, about a decade ago, several years before they upped the curve and the median grade was a 3.0, so over 3.0 meant you were top half.

3.8 or higher for fresh out of law school is fine. Fwiw, no such thing as entry level legal positions. The legal market is ridiculous now. Damn near impossible to get a job. What kind of position is she looking for?

I work in HR. For recent grads with no real work experience, I think it's appropriate to include a GPA of 3.8 or higher. Otherwise, leave it off.

How about entry level legal positions? Like, right out of law school?

Only include GPA if applying for jobs RIGHT out of college and GPA is 3.8 or higher.

I have never seen a resume that included a GPA. If a job requires transcripts to be sent, they will get the GPA from that.

She's right out of law school, in her mid-late 20s.

That doesn't seem very high. Is there an award or distinction (eg, Honor Roll, Deans List, XYZ Scholar, etc) that could you be used instead of a GPA number?

No GPA on a resume.

Helping someone with a resume...

Undergrad and law school GPAs are both a little over 3.1. It feels like those are low to include on a resume. Or would people think it's even lower than that, if no number is included? Thanks!
