GPA Rounding Question
Quick question. Current GPA is 3.76. I'm curious as to the common practice for how many decimals places to list out on resume. Do most people take advantage of rounding system and list, for example, a GPA in 3.755-3.804 range as 3.8 and then switch to hundredth place for 3.805-3.854? Therefore the 3.755-3.804 gets the 3.8 while the 3.805-3.854 gets more (3.81 > 3.80). Or is it better overall to just list most amount of digits, since only listing to the tenths place is too vague? Thank you so much.
Dude what the fuck - you're overcomplicating this. Take advantage of rounding, you and everyone else should be presenting themselves in the best light. So, 3.76 turns into 3.80.
Main question lies around the idea of putting 3.8 (tenths place) as opposed to a number w/ hundredths place on resume. Does it matter? Saying this bc 3.8 can mean a whole lot of numbers, whereas 3.80 doesn't. Wasn't sure if listing hundredths place looks more honest.
I've never seen it matter. Nobody is going to spend more than 5seconds thinking about 3.8 vs 3.80. If you're uncomfortable, then just list 3.76 and call it a day.
I realized after checking resumes…when I was in school I thought so much about gpa and random stuff…but I don’t verify this shit at all and once I pass it to a higher up they probably spend even less time on the resume!
3.76-> 3.8-> 4.0. You're welcome I just helped you understand the mind numbing concept of rounding.
Mad cringe. Ik my question may seem brain numbing and trivial, but just looking for some genuine advice to best position myself in the eyes of the recruiter. My question is not even that dumb when you really understand what I'm asking. Thx for reused joke and sarcastic response tho.
It's fine to round. Just be consistent in your use of digits if you do, i.e. 3.8/4.0 vs. 3.76/4.00. 3.80/4.00 is misleading if you're rounding
