Advised to put only major gpa 3.7 (Cum: 3.4) will this raise flags?

Sophomore at a semi-target, have a 3.7 major GPA and was advised to only include this and omit my cum which is a 3.4. 

I have two banking internships and unique startup experience. What would you recommend?

Not a smart move. If I only see a Major GPA, I would immediately assume your cGPA is subpar (~3.00/4.00). 3.4 is not extremely bad just include both your cgpa and your major gpa together. But ensure that your major gpa is correct, have had a friend who encountered problems when someone checked out his transcript and the numbers didn't add up...
