As a new grad I didn't have my GPA on my resume and it never actually came up except for the occasional transcript request. I had a fine GPA, but not high enough for it to be a nice datapoint.
I had plenty of interest with lots of companies, including many FAANGMGOEWVIOPJW companies.
This was years ago though.
- nvarsj 5y agoMaybe things have changed, but when I went to career fairs as a uni student in the 00s they all asked for my GPA. Less than 3.5 was pretty much an instant no.
- yupper32 5y agoI'm talking like 2012-2015ish here. I was never asked for it specifically, or asked why it was not on my resume. A few big companies asked for my transcript, but that's all. I don't even know if they looked at it. I had about a 3.5, so nothing to write home about. Got offers from a few big tech companies. I really think they didn't care, unless my barely 3.5 GPA just made the cutoff when they looked at my transcripts.
- pbalau 5y ago> when I went to career fairs *as a uni student* At that point that was the only thing you could possible show.
- yupper32 5y agoThat's not true. Projects, internships, and interviewing skills are how you get into companies as a uni student. GPA is maybe required for some, but it's definitely not the only thing a uni student should be showing.
