GPA Rounding Question - Undergraduate
Can you round a 3.838 to 3.85 or a 3.738 to a 3.75 on your resume? I know some students round a 3.75+ to a 3.8 but I'm curious to know how rounding to a x.x5 works.

Just round conventionally to one or two decimal places, and round halves up. If you need to, resort to listing major GPA only.
Inflating an extra 0.1, like your first example, is dishonest.
