SA 26 background check predicament

Will be going to a mid tier BB for my SA stint this summer. When applying I put my cumulative GPA as a 3.6 (cumulative from community college and my current school) but didn’t put the community college on my experience section as it wasn’t listed. Now for background checks my cumulative GPA is a 3.5 but my firm doesnt know my GPA at my school is lower than that. For my background check should I submit my resume with my cumulative GPA or with my current school GPA?

lol it’s more so I didn’t disclose my cc stuff and they request a transcript. Should I just put a 3.3 (my university gpa without CC?) or include my cc stuff

 

My bad cant pm, but what ended up happening did the background check flag anything about the gpa thing or what / how did you navigate that. Bc my gpa at my school is lower than the one at the transfer school, was curious how you dealt with that and if the firm gave you any hard time. Also what background 3rd party did they use, sterling by chance?

 

Bet sounds good thanks, my cumulative gpa is much higher than my actual gpa at my new school so i just wanted to know how your experience was, thanks!
