If it's a good grade, why not include it? It shows you can manage you school work while working and/or volunteering.

no no.. not specific grades. That would take up wayyy too much room on the internship resume. I was talking about GPA or an average of all grades in percentage.

Thanks. I will use the upper level course average idea. But I took econ 311 as an art elective, should I include this into my average or fuck it? I don't want to lie on my resume, but technically econ 311 (aka econ 102) is a 300 level course.

Show your transcript to your coop advisor and ask for his/her opinion.

Business GPA is LOL. It just means you showed up and made an effort.

A high GPA in App Sc is quite impressive because the material is harder. Not everybody can get there. Also, theory has a higher level of importance in Engineering than Business.. not to say there isn't also a practical or street smart component as well because there is, it's just smaller.
