Rounding GPA from 3.676 to a 3.7?
So first off, I want to get into MM Investment Banking and I go to a non-target. I've heard that non-targets need a higher GPA than targets in order to get consideration by hiring managers. My cumulative GPA is a 3.676. Would it be ok to round it up to a 3.7 on my resume? I've heard that 3.7s look much better for non-targets
Thanks in advance.
Just do it.
Yeah, just include the appropriate scale. So if your gpa is "3.68 / 4.00", adjust it to "3.7 / 4.0". I've done this from X.65 --> X.7.
Regarding appropriate scale, wouldn't it also be correct to use "3.68/4"?
I like to keep it consistent so yeah that’s technically fine but I would do “3.68 / 4.00”
I rounded my 3.5 to a 4/4 and landed my internship
wow, what an unbelievable story! (emphasis on "unbelievable")
there's no background check?
Oh, you sweet summer child
I wouldn't. Round to 2 decimal places, a 3.676 is not even that close to a 3.7
If any company actually asks for your transcripts, you're going to look really bad.
EDIT: For all the MS you guys are throwing at me, doing what OP asked is literally a conduct violation at my university. They specifically forbid students from rounding to one decimal place unless it's mathematically accurate to two decimal places.
Dude you are so wrong. 3.676 -> 3.7 is totally fine. Only thing is I'll automatically assume the applicant has a 3.65.
Judging by the MS, that seems to be the case. Meh, I still think it's a sketch thing to do, but if we're being honest here if I saw someone list a GPA at 3.7/4.0, I'd think 3.65 too. So I see your point (though I still don't know if I would do it personally).
just do it man. no one will give a shit
Definitely do it
its fine, do it
everyone does
understand your concern, but this is common sense, it's totally fine
I rounded my 3.5 inch cock to a 9 inch cock when she asked me
I wonder what Shants' school has to say about this rounding.
