Minor GPA Rounding Question

Hi Guys - rising junior at a top-15 school here interested in IB. Silly question but something that's been bugging me. My GPA is a 3.5145. Can I round it to 3.52 or do I have to stick to 3.51. I think there is a difference between 3.51 and 3.52, but that's just me, especially when the "cutoff" is 3.5.

Thanks in advance.

I'd say the odds of someone catching the rounding issue and caring about it are negligible. But, so too is the difference between 3.51 and 3.52, despite your perception that it matters because it's got more cushion over the 3.50 cutoff. Do what you want. I'd put 3.51.
