Listing GPA on undergrad CV when reaching out to professors I intend to apply to PhD programs in computer science, and I have been advised to reach out to professors I'm interested in working with by sending them my CV. My GPA is 3.6, which is not bad, but it's not great either. I think the rest of my CV/profile is quite positive, but I am not inclined to list my GPA for this 'reaching out CV', since it may create a bad first impression, even before I apply. So the question is whether I should leave my GPA on.
Conspicuously missing a CV makes a worse impression.  The most important thing, in my view, is to take some time to properly understand what the professor is doing, and how you could help his/her research efforts.  A thoughtful contact of this type is much more valuable than crafting the correct CV/profile.
