This isn't a major lie... you'll be fine. Ignore the guy above. 9 times out of 10 transcript mismatches aren't ever addressed -- at least I've never seen anything crazy amongst me and my friends in the industry for rounding. If you're still recruiting after this, change it to a 3.5 or keep it as 3.52/4.00 going forward and you'll be fine. 3.5 vs 3.6 won't mean much given most cutoffs are 3.3 anyway. If your GPA was around that range this could be a more serious situation.
Its a testament to OPs lack of integrity, he willingly lied about his GPA to make himself standout and got caught. Whether its a .7 or .07 difference, I dont see how this could be justifie
I think you'll be fine just sending the transcript. But next time not worth the risk to move from a 3.5 to 3.6 (arguably worth the risk going from a 3.4 to a 3.5, but not 3.5 to 3.6).
Youre screweed dude. Admit you lied about your GPA its a lack of integrity on your end. Time to pay
You lied about your GPA and now want us to tell you its ok and not to worry? No ethics, no integrity. Im finding out the name of this organziation unless you resign immedaitely

Lol bored dude idk what else to do. Got any books or anything you recomend?
