Minor GPA on CV?

[smoazeni]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm applying to a dual degree program to get my MSLIS (library school) and MA in history (1+1= academic librarian!).  

 

History was my minor in college, but my GPA in the dept was higher than my overall.  Since I am applying to a history program, should I point out my minor GPA in addition to my major?  

 

It sounds a little tacky, but it's relevant since my minor is the subject I'm applying for.  Thoughts?

 

Thanks!

If you have a first rate cumulative GPA then that is your ticket. Otherwise, state your minor's GPA only if it is exemplifies your dedication to a relevant discipline.

I would -- why not?  I'd put it right in line with your minor, too.

Minor in History - GPA: 3.79

 

 

Or whatever.

You'll want to highlight it either in the CV or your statement of purpose. But if the difference is only 0.1 or 0.2, it is tacky, as you suggested.
