It's probably not a big deal, but I wouldn't round. Having a 4.0 might actually be more harmful than helpful. In my eyes, a 4.0 would imply to me that you are incredibly intelligent but probably an asshole (even if you aren't). A 3.96 tells me that you are human and that you busted your ass. That is all rather anecdotal but may play a part, plus people don't like folks that come across as superior to them and rounding up a stupidly high GPA might give someone the wrong impression if they see that your "4.0" was actually "only a 3.96"...haha, jokes on you, right?

Don't do it, not worth it.

Yeah. I think more specific info here can't really hurt. For anything over a 3.9, I really think two digits after the decimal point is more appropriate.

Next question- what if you get a 3.652 in undergrad, but a 3.96 in grad school. Normal advice is to optimize your rounding, but in this case, I think it doesn't matter quite as much with such a strong grad GPA. Just give it out to two sig figs past the decimal for both.
