Does your college GPA really matter?

The importance of your GPA after college depends on your plans. If you want to go to graduate school or medical school, your GPA is going to matter, as admissions committees will look at your transcripts – much the same as for college admissions. Many graduate schools focus on GPA earned as a junior and senior.

Should I put my weighted or unweighted GPA on resume?

If you have the option to put an unweighted or a weighted GPA on your college application, you can really put either one. One is not better than the other. The only rule of thumb is to report the GPA that is higher and that makes you look like a better student.

Do employers check education records?

Employers consider grade point average, area of study and school of attendance when making employment decisions. While you are under no obligation to share your education records with an employer, he may not consider you for a job if you omit such information during a background check.
