I have a super day coming up and realized I mistyped my GPA on the resume I submitted. I ended up rounding it up almost half a point and I’m pretty sure I just blew my chance with this group.

Trust me they won’t check. It’s very stressful obviously but they will really only do a credit check and criminal background check. Don’t risk losing an offer by ratting yourself out because of an honest mistake. They may pull the offer for compliance reasons if you come clean.
Ah yes the classic GPA typo. Always an honest mistake.

Let me guess, your hand slipped and you turned a 3.0 into a 3.9?
No. I'm dumb but I'm not retarded.
I put my Major GPA instead of my cumulative. I used to use my Major GPA before bringing my grades up and have been used to putting that in. Not sure why everyone is accusing me of lying like I'm dumb enough to think I'd get away with it.
