wow guys thanks for all the advice!
I'm wondering though...
Is it acceptable to list partial GPA's?
Like overall GPA (excluding freshman year) = 3.0
and then maybe explain how you've improved etc...
or would I look like an idiot? |

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? |

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. |
