3.48 rounds to 3.5 which rounds to 4. Congrats!
Stop being so scared and do it. Imagine wanting to miss a whole year recruiting cycle because of 0.02 GPA.
I'm almost always against embellishing on a resume. However, if .02 means the difference between getting an interview and not (will algorithms automatically reject you if you put down 3.48?), I think it's a risk you have to consider taking. Just have a plausible reason why, if you're ever called on it, you put down a 3.52.
How can you possibly be this conflicted about rounding to the nearest decimal. Explain how not putting your GPA at the hundredth decimal a "risk"
Why wouldn't you just put down 3.5? Or your finance GPA or both? 3.52 is stupid.
Just put 3.5 without the hundredth decimal and you’ll be fine
This is the start of george santos.
Hey, he's done well for himself.
Origin story
You can put 3.5, but not 3.52. 3.48 rounds to 3.5 and no higher unless you are required to round to the 1s place which nobody asks for. I ended with a 3.66 cumulative and I round to 3.7. Nobody cares, it's close enough man.
Round it to 3.5
WTF 3.52. You can’t just make up the hundredths place….
It worries me this person wants to work with numbers
Round to 3.5...
round to 3.5. Double check with your college as lying on the resume usually has extremely severe consequences if caught - even after graduation....
Where, exactly? Academic honesty policies don't extend beyond graduation...
How would you even find out about penalties for lying on resumes at your college? Can't exactly ask without coming off oddly?
not enough decimals. banks like precision. give them at least 4 decimals (e.g. 3.4827).
This is good practice for when you hit the desk and start modeling. We make up numbers all the time... yeah 3.0% growth over the next 5 years. Foolish! Slide the decimal place over for 30%
This was like 13 years ago, but for internships I did everything from not listing gpa, putting 3.5 - 4.0 depending on how I felt and even putting “major” gpa breakdowns. No one cares man.
Simply put, he wants to put 3.52 for the same reasons as Mclovin put 25 on his fake ID instead of 21. “How many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town it’s called fucking strategy alright.”
Show em how this works. Pro forma addback to 4.0, adjusting for 0.52 of non-recurring charges related to [insert comment]
"Note: Some figures may not tie due to rounding."
Just put 3.5
Rounding to 1 decimal place is allowed
Most online application forms only have it to the 10th place anyway. So if it says 3.4 or 3.5, mathematically 3.5 is what you'd put.
where did you get the idea of 3.52????? just round it up to the tenth everyone does this
one is just rounding up and the other is a straight up fraud
Round up to 3.5 or fudge to 3.52, it won't change the discernible differences between you and a candidate with 3.7+
