Dear bizzzschool,

As a general rule, I don't think a GPA needs to be on a resume unless you were an exceptional student. If your GPA is over a 3.25 for bachelor's degree and 3.5 for master's degrees, then that might warrant a mention on the resume. Since you are close at a 3.18, it is really your call on if you think it adds value. You will have to report your GPA in your application and it will be on your transcript, so the admissions office will know it anyway.

Good luck,
Lisa
