Hi,
So my school runs on a 4.3 GPA scale. I have a 4.00. Would it be ethical to write just "• Cumulative GPA: 4.00" instead of "• Cumulative GPA: 4.00/4.3"? converting to 4.0 scale based on school's official guideline, my GPA would be 3.87/4.00...
So is it okay to write 4.00 GPA instead of 4.00/4.3 ?
Thanks!!!

No retard. Put 4.00/4.30 or 3.87/4.00. Putting 4.00 without specifying the scale is deceptive.

Think about it...you really think 3.87 or 4.0/4.3 is going to hurt you.

Why does it matter? Also it is incredibly mundane to generalize people based on their schools...don't you think so?
I wish I had your GPA
I wish I had your GPA sophmore year. I also wish I didn't go to a community college.

I think he's narrowed it down to those two schools because they (Well I know Michigan for sure, not positive on Cornell) grade on that scale. I'm not sure how many other schools do...

GPA scales are necessary on a resume because they vary so much. MIT, for instance, has GPAs out of 5.0.
lol I don't understand why people on this site are so curious about where random posters go to school.

Well what I want to do is give an impression that my school is at 4.0 - I could give that impression with Dean's Honour List and top 10% of class. yes? no?
Dude put a 3.87, or round up
Dude put a 3.87, or round up to a 3.9, or just do 4.00/4.30. Add your dean's honor list and top 10% of class. That will be more than enough and will still be impressive. Don't try to deceive anyone. They'll see your transcript anyway.

^Yes you can. You can leave
^Yes you can.
You can leave the scale off if you REALLY want to. I know that several applicants do, mostly because they think it's irrelevant. If it's asked for, just provide it.
There's always a chance that it could upset the interviewers though.

The correct answer is to put 3.9/4.0.
You would never put 4.00/4.3 because those are not equivalent in terms of significant figures. (If you don't think things like that matter, you will be a lousy banker.) Also, you wouldn't put 3.87/4.00 because rounding has been established as a resume "best practice" where applicable (i.e. when you can round up), making 3.9 better than 3.87.
Furthermore, the reason one would not write 4.0/4.3 instead of 3.9/4.0 is because as a percentage of perfection, 3.9/4.0 is more complete than 4.0/4.3. (That is to say, 3.9 is 97.5% of 4.0, while 4.0 is only 93.0% of 4.3.)

I agree with Nouveau. Ignore
I agree with Nouveau. Ignore my 3.87 and 4.00/4.30 suggestions...but I still think that putting "Cumulative GPA: 4.0" is deceiving and wrong.

Agreed. I could see it being perceived as deceptive. For the potential risk of coming off as a weird/sketchy/scrupulous guy, the marginal payout really isn't there.
Thank you for all your
