So at what point in your career can you take off your GPA from your resume? Is it >= 5 yrs? I went to a decent school with a mediocre GPA, just wondering when I can get rid of it...
I went to a top Engineering school in Computer Science and I too have a mediocre GPA, sucks even more. I never had it on my Resume, I write the college name and my major with large font and rest I fill with "other achievements" in smaller font, like winning a robotics competition, attending seminars, thesis topic, and research paper; so that the guy who looks at it is just lost in collecting information and skip that part without thinking for another moment that there's no GPA in that section.
If your GPA is above 3.5 definitely leave it on there. If it's 3.3 to 3.5, that's a judgement call. If it's less than 3.3, I personally would leave it off.

When I don't see a GPA on a resume, it's an immediate flag that shouts "it wasn't good". It's not an immediate application killer, but if it was a decent GPA (3.3+) there's no reason to leave it off.
What if you had a mediocre ugrad GPA 3.1, but better Masters GPA 3.5. Can I put one and leave the other? Leave both, put both? Also when is it time to pull the ol 740 GMAT off the reusme?
