<p>I'm a transfer student looking for Summer internship.</p>
<p>I've completed first two years of course work at a community college and then transferred to a big state University.
I spent a summer and a semester (Fall) at my current school and so far my GPA is 4.0.
This happened because my previous school's GPA doesn't transfer to my new school. On my official transcript, every credit I got has letter 'T' (Not A,B,C) and this doesn't affect the GPA.
The problem is that I kinda sucked back at the community college (it was mainly from lack of motivation b/c I couldn't like the school at all)</p>
<p>Now I need to put my educational info on my resume and I'm in dilemma.
If I show 3.0 on my resume, it will look bad but if I commit to put 4.0 .. I feel guilty because I'm not a guy who has been getting straight As for 3 years (except my last 2 semesters).</p>
<p>Will the recruiters really care about the fact that I attended a community college?</p>
<p>Am I gonna be in trouble if I put 4.0 (and 4.0 only) on my resume? and not mention about my bad gpa (3.0) back at a community college?</p>
<p>What if after I graduate? when I'm looking for my first full time job and after.</p>
<p>(Btw, I'm not sure if this info helps but I'm in computer engineering).</p>
<p>Put both schools on your resume and the dates you attended them (i.e. march 2011 - present). Then give the gpa for both or one of the scores. I’d recommend putting the gpa for your current college as it will give you leverage.</p>
<p>By specifying dates, college, and gpa, you’ll be telling the truth about your academics</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree. I think i did something like this:</p>
<p>Degree Name…insert space…Anticipated Graduation Date
Current college Name…insert space…GPA</p>
<p>Transfer degree name…insert space…date of grad/transfer
Transfer School name</p>
<p>And obviously put your current school gpa across from your current school name.
There is no reason to feel bad about doing this, you are being truthful and setting yourself up for success. You will not “get in trouble” for doing this. </p>
<p>You are in a much better position than those who get 4.0’s at their cc and then their grades drop with the harder/upper level classes after they transfer. They actually have a problem, you do not.</p>
<p>At my school, we have a required “Professional Issues” class, and they have people from career services come by as guest lecturers, etc.</p>
<p>They told us to list the schools from which you received a degree in reverse chronological order, along with the GPA for each school if it’s above 3.0. Don’t list any other schools, because employers don’t want to see them.</p>
<p>They also recommend not listing dates of attendance.</p>
