Just wondering if this is acceptable?
I have been browsing on the forums and it looks as if more people say don't do it then people who say do it.
I am confused though, because aren't unofficial transcripts usually attached to your application? So when they see a 3.75 on the transcript and then read a 3.8 on the resume, will they ding you for that?

I have done it in the past and was under the impression it was okay. Now I have a 3.86 and am wondering the same thing only its a little different since a 3.9 is the last you can go to before a 4.0.
As long as if you have your overall and major GPA on your resume and they are to the same decimal place you should be fine.
I can only give you academia's perspective in what career advisors have told me over the years. But both of these examples are absolutely unacceptable by their standards. For example, if you had a 3.785 they wouldn't even allow you to round that a 3.79. You can either choose 3.78 or you may list 3 decimal places. They believe it is "deceptive" against the employer. .5 in terms of a GPA is actually a big move as you get that high, so they may be right. I had a 3.59, and I don't put 3.60. So, maybe I am a bit conservative in that regard, but if you can't even be honest about your GPA it brings into question a lot of what you've added on your resume--from my perspective. Good luck on the job search though.
