Wrong GPA in application form but correct one in resume

Hi:

In my application to GS my resume GPA is listed as 3.4 which is the correct value. In the form however it was listed as 3.6 as this was my GPA in the prior year and I forgot to change the data in the autofill plugin from last year when I applied. How should I approach this situation? What's more the transcript is from my first year as well.....

But yeah the resume gpa is the correct one

If they do a background check which one will they use to verify?

Had the same issue in the application to another IB and since they enabled editing I just had to change it back, but for GS it can't be modified after submission

btw this is for the tech division not ib

No one will care about the application form, pretty sure that the background check will be done on your cv.
