hmmm...never heard of anyone doing that. you could certainly do something like that for your major though...like in my case...Business GPA or something like that...

They thought I was over qualified Point is you should tweek experience and put in numbers if you lack actual skills. A lot of people never try to get into the field they want because they havent done any work in it. However, any company wants a smart hard-working guy who learns fast and doesnt make the same mistake twice. see what I mean?

haha if I did it for my major it'd be like a 1.5 or something

GPA doesnt mean jack..lets say u have a 4.0 and the other guy competing for the same job barely made it through college but has a shit load of experience...guess who is gettin the job? the experienced guy. try to have some extra activities at school,internships,part time jobs and all that good stuff..GPA doesnt mean jack.

I go to Lehigh, I was exaggerating with the 1.5 bit. It's probably like a low 2 w/ only my engr classes and no electives.

Here you get kicked out if you go below a 1.8 for 2 semesters in a row.

You have shamed the Spartans of old.
