Do grad schools and future employers look at accumulative or institutional GPA?

Question

What's the point of institutional GPA? Which GPA goes on your BA degree?

I wanted to re-take some courses that I made a C or below on, so I need to make sure that it will not be a waste of my time.

Answer 1

Yup....Stanford...3.9 minimum.  Depends on the employer.  Once I was in a job race that came down to gpa for the job.  My hard work in college paid off and I got the job.  

Answer 2

Grad schools will require an official transcript sent directly to them.  Many corporate employers will request the same.  It will show every class you took and associated grade.  (college prof/ retired IBM exec mgr)

Answer 3

They usually look at both, but if they are hard pressed for time, they only really look at cumulative gpa.
