Background Check Questions

What will happen during background check when they found I...

1) I rounded my GPA to 3.6/4.0 from 3.55/4.00

2) One of the 3 honor societies I listed was later in years considered as a scam (which means I was scammed of $75 to enter it (ARGH)), it was still in my resume and I forgot to take it out. (ARGH).

Thanks again for the help, really appreciate the thoughts.

Thanks tandaradei,

3rd question,

What will happen if they found out that I went to a community college before I transferred to a University?

I only listed the University's name on my resume.

Thanks again for the thoughts.
