I don't even put my GPA on my resume anymore.

And likely, if it's a large zombie-automated HR department, I wouldn't want to work there anyways.

And you should not, unless your GPA tells something outstanding about you.

I do put it, because I can say that with that score (not GPA, but 94/100 score) I was the best of my class/generation.

The Resume is an advertisement, you don't see Coca-Cola advertising that their sugary drinks can make people fat.
