GPA went down since applying and now they're asking for transcript - Please Help!

Hi all

I recently got a transcript request from a top firm, and I'm a bit worried that I might be screwed because my transcript GPA is significantly lower than what I applied with.

I had several incomplete classes when applying to the firm that made my GPA higher (3.8) than it is now (3.62). After completing the finals for those classes, my GPA ended up dropping by .2, and I'm worried that this might cause me some trouble.

Do I call this out when sending my transcript, or should I just stay quiet and assume that they won't care. This is a big/really well established firm, and I'm worried about them just blacklisting me without asking me about the discrepancy. At the same time, I don't want to call it out if they won't even really care.

What do I do? just a super stressed college kid, please please any ideas/comments would be helpful
