Including a GPA on your resume is a good way to make me very suspicious of your resume.

yeah nobody cares about your college gpa, except for grad schools. if that's your plan for after graduation then you have to pay some attention to it

i don't include it on my resume but wouldn't judge someone who does, unless their gpa was under 3.5 in which case i would question their judgment to be bragging about it

there are companies that ask for that as well as weirdo companies that ask for sat/act scores, even from people who aren't recent grads

ya i find great value in writing things down like that, helps clarify my understanding. just not like, during class, when i'm trying to listen to the professor talk

absolutely. there’s been dozens of times I’ve had a problem and came to the forums to ask, and while writing the post, I’m forced to make the question make sense obviously, and often in the process of writing the question the solution becomes apparent


have been thinking a little bit lately about how consciousness actually has no problem with gaps or inconsistencies within the appearances in consiouaness. it’s only when we involve our cognition do we notice things missing or wrong.
this is why dreams can make no sense and be constantly inconsistent, but consciousness has no problem with this and doesn’t complain at all.

Then you have a responsibility that no man has ever faced. You have your fear which could become reality, and you have Godzilla, which is reality.


sat scores, like a lot of other indicators in this thread, are proof of how privileged your upbringing was.

Not unusual in Germany. Many think that high school grade reveal something about the “character” of the applicants.
