<p>How often is it that employers will look at a Major GPA over a cumulative GPA? My Cumulative GPA is higher (and what I've been told is "hire-able") than my Major GPA (which is lousy).</p>
<p>Basically, the way my school calculates Major GPA is it doesn't take into account Maths (Calc I-III and DiffEq), General Chemistry, or General Physics (which all seem to be included in a lot of places major GPA). It does take into account Organic Chem, and all of the ChE courses (including an in-house Intro Bio class that I sucked royally at).</p>
<p>That said, I'm pretty good at the stuff that doesn't require a load of memorization (typically what one would associate with Engineering courses), and it's still early (just finished Sophomore year), but to look at "2.57 Major GPA" is worrying.</p>
<p>I noticed that my school doesn't even put Major GPA on the unofficial online transcript, so would putting down a "Science and Engineering GPA" on a resume be acceptable since I've done well in all the maths and intro sciences (B+ was my worst score there)?</p>
