Rounding a 2.92 GPA to 3.0?
Is this ok? I graduated with non-major.
I DID graduate in 3 years though. Trying to land a 2015 IB analyst position
Should I even list the GPA? I graduated in 2012

I would just round it to a 3.8 while you're at it. If you're going to lie why not at least make it a bit impressive.
In this scenario, this is good advice.
Either you get rejected with your 2.9, or they reject you when (if) they find out you lied. Nothing to lose.
very helpful, thanks
No problem, let me know if you have trouble rounding any other numbers to one decimal, would be happy to help out.
Definitely not. It would be untruthful to round a 2.92 to a 3.0 -- sorry.
i think even if you round this to 3.0, you still have no chance to be interviewed. Also I believe you may not considered eligible if you graduated three years ago unless you took a master program for the past three years
I honestly didn't know it was possible to graduate without a major. You won't land an interview for IB but if you did it would be brutal so count your blessings.
Is this a joke?
Would this actually be that big of a deal? Obviously OP needs to learn to round correctly, but do you guys really think anyone would give a shit about a .08 differential?
Yes do it. No one cares. 3.0 may make a cutoff or not count against you. Less than 3 really might. All you have to do is say a number of people you spoke with in the industry said it was standard practice (it is)...
Not a big deal. Now stop wasting time with small stuff like this, go hustle, and find a gig.
Good Luck
The only logic that would allow this rounding would also allow rounding of a 3.51 to a 4.0. It's just ridiculous. Since when is it standard practice to lie? If your grade transcript does not say overall GPA you would likely get away with it (and you might even if it is), but it shows a lack of ethics. Man up to your GPA, after all, you are the one who got it. You sat through those classes, sat for exams and ended up with a 2.92. Time to grab life by the balls.
