Engineering vs. Overall GPA

College Majors Engineering Majors

<p>How would employers/grad schools view a huge discrepancy between engineering and overall GPA? I started off at my school (an ivy league) with a 3.0 overall GPA--went through some personal issues and really messed up, actually failing a course...</p>

<p>However, I finally got myself together in one term after switching to the engineering B.E. major, and was able to raise to a 3.4ish overall GPA with a 3.92 major GPA.</p>

<p>A 3.0 overall is considered good for most employers. Your 3.92 in the major will REALLY stand out.</p>

<p>I would make sure that 3.92 is placed somewhere on your resume.</p>
