putting gpa on resume/CV?

[Ayuka001]

Do you put your gpa on your resume or CV? What's considered a "good" pharmacy school gpa?


Thanks guys!

My advisor told me I don't have to because most places (for residency/internships at least) will look your transcript instead to confirm your GPA, but I do anyways. I don't want to be screened out of anything for NOT putting it on there, just in case. It fluctuates between a 3.8 and 3.9 depending on the semester.

I thought only residencies really cared to look?

I had a 4.0 my P1 and P2 year so I put it on my CV. Now it's at around a 3.6 so I took it off. 😛

If it's a 4.0 I would put it on there. If it's just an average GPA LEAVE IT OFF b/c no one cares.

Good is 3.75+ Great is 3.85+ Stellar is 4.0

Good luck!

2 offers both retail...waiting to get licensed to see if I can land something better than these. I'll be most happy with a managed care, staff hospital or work at home mail order pharmacy. Fingers CROSSED.

+ 1. Why the heck not if it's awesome? Would you not put summa cum laude in the honors section if you earned it?

Thank you! 🙂 Kinda wish I got a managed care or hospital position though! lol


Do they even look at applicants before they get licensed? 😕

Don't wait too long to accept one of these... and just bail when you get a better offer.

I accepted BOTH right away! lol...

If I get managed care or hospital or work at home job I'll bail.

But does bail = burn bridges and I can't ever work for them again?

a 3.75 is consider good? So a 3.5 is average? and a 3.0 is sub-par?

Your scale is competitive indeed
