What's the rule of thumb on that? One job post-graduation?

I'm not entirely sure what to fill that space with to balance the line if I remove it haha. Maybe I could expand BS out to Bachelor of Science? Still probably wouldn't look balanced though...

Unless your GPA is super impressive, I'd argue it's not worth bragging about at all. A 3.2 is fine when you're hunting for your first real job. After you've got work experience, I doubt many would care about a GPA. When people did really well, you'll sometimes here them say "I graduated summa cum laude" instead of specifically referencing their GPA.
