If my GPA is 3.97 can I put 4.0 on resume

Probably wouldn't get caught or ever face consequences for it. I really have no idea but theres gotta be a non zero % chance that gets flagged when you submit your transcript. So its really up to you, as 3.97 and 4.0 is not gonna make a difference anyways. 

also ethically like why? if you had a 3.67 and needed a 3.7 for the gpa cutoff i'd understand. ur nerd ass doesn't need another 0.03 like god damn. 

I had a 3.51 and rounded to 4(no decimal) on my resume.

Yeah you’re lowk cooked if you leave 3.97 bc that’s a shit gpa. Definitely round up to 4.0 or you won’t even get looks from any of the top banks like Union Square Advisors, Provident Healthcare Partners, or Westcove Partners.

If i found out an applicant rounded up from 3.97 to 4.0 it would be a ding. Likely overly myopic personality and can’t see the “big picture” of what actually matters. It’s also effectively an equal GPA  to a 4.00 anyways - no one is going to just take a 4.00 applicant over a 3.97 applicant because of the 0.03 delta in GPA, at this point it’s all about interview performance.

4.0 and 3.97 are not the same. 4.0 means a perfect record of all As. Don’t do that.

I wouldn’t care, and if they ask you to round then rounding to 4.0 is correct. But I think by showing 3.97 you get all the credit of a 4.0 and then some for being transparent. I round up by 0.4 when I have to round to the tenths

Put 420

Serious response: put 3.97. "4.0" is what people with 3.91s put. I'm sure there are no fewer than 20 threads on the topic of rounding up GPAs -- in your case, you can separate yourself from that group. Also, this is pretty neurotic to begin with, but just my two cents as it seems important to you.
