Thanks for the insightful commentYou should always show your GPA
Right. My thought process was that since he isn't one of my professors and has clearly seen me excel in a clinical setting and is well aware my intellectual capacity, I didn't think that my GPA would be as relevant/helpful for him in writing a letter than, let's say, a professor writing me a rec.
I wouldn't really even include a GPA on a resume for a professor haha. I don't even think resumes are particularly helpful when it comes to writing letters of recommendation.

I met with my academic advisor in the Fall semester and she went off on me for not including a GPA on my resume
. I guess it was just a personal preferenceMy career office told everyone to use a 3.5 cutoff.I've read/heard that anything below a 3.0 should not be on your resume/CV.
This is what I thought tooMy career office told everyone to use a 3.5 cutoff.
