Never had anyone check a GPA and know lots of people who just put whatever they want as a GPA so long as it wasn't too high.

Most people would assume you are reporting your overall GPA. If you don't want something weird to happen after you get the job, you should probably use the overall GPA.

edit: kinda got side tracked, but the purpose of the resume was for summer internship positions or jobs. I am not actually going to start working full time.

We are actually admitting students right now, and I am looking for grad students this year. The first thing that I look at is that the student has relevant undergraduate experience. Then, I look at their GPA. Since I am looking at transcripts as well, it's not as though you are going to "fool me", especially at the graduate level, where you are not looking at thousands of applications.

As long as you have done reasonably well in your undergraduate degree (say, 3.4 and above), what I really look for, above all else, is evidence that a student has the ability and capacity to work hard and diligently, including at things that they find boring. So, things that I like are elective classes that are difficult (rather than bird courses), relevant laboratory experience, consistent grades throughout (rather than good grades towards the end, and bad grades to begin with, which to me indicates that the student doesn't see a strong work ethic as important in and of itself).

For me, the ability to persevere whether or not you like the subject matter is important. It is interesting work, but it is work, and some of it will be boring. I'm not looking for geniuses. Finding that is a matter of luck. I am looking for soldiers who will look for ways to make things work, regardless.
