Don't lie about your GPA and don't bring it up. If some recruiter asks it, say "its not worth putting on the resume, and you shouldn't be rewriting my resume.

Don't lie about your GPA and don't bring it up. If some recruiter asks it, say "its not worth putting on the resume, and you shouldn't be rewriting my resume. IF you're looking for something to use to pitch me use X, Y, or Z" ,where those are projects you've done, in class our outside of class, that are relevant to the job. Two possibilities- the recruiter is trying to filter you out (in which case, if you are qualified for the job, never work with that recruiter or firm again, and tell them this every time they contact you) or they are looking for something that can use to make you stand out... and don't really care about the GPA. Any company that won't hire you because your GPA is not high enough is a company run by idiots. At your age, it may seem silly for me to say that, because you've not experienced this kind of idiocy before, I bet, but it is the case. A company looking for a CS student whose worth your time is one who will want to talk to you about programming, not your GPA. (they might ask but they won't really care) You'll learn a lot more from the people who don't confuse symbols for reality.
