<p>during internship AND employment recruitment process, if your overall gpa is not steller (mine is about 3.5) will a higher major gpa (3.9+) help out a lot?</p>
<p>Whatever makes you look better you should include on your resume. A 3.9 major GPA is certainly something that will help. I would think that a 3.5 overall GPA would be ~ top 15%, so that it will come down to work experience/other factors for how many interviews you get.</p>
<p>put both GPAs on the resume, not one or the other. also dont forget to round up to 3.6 if you are like 3.55 or higher. 3.5 cumulative is not bad, thats usually around the cutoff... and the 3.9 in your major will definitely look impressive.</p>
<p>good luck</p>
