Geez. I thought going 3.55 to 3.6 was normal. You mind sharing the score?
…
If you accurately rounded (I.e. 3.55 -> 3.6 and not 3.51 -> 3.6 or 3.55 -> 3.60) that wouldn’t be a reason to rescind your offer. Being one point off on the ACT is, mostly because it shows integrity issues. Like you said, it was a stupid thing to lie on as it probably had 0 impact on you getting the job.
No arguments there. Not sure why I did it but just gotta learn from it and try to grind my way back from square 1.
How did they verify your ACT Score? Make you submit a pdf of your Score Report?
.
Hey, I did something similar - I transferred between universities, so at my first university I got a 3.9, at my current university I have a 3.7, and I have my GPA listed as "Cumulative GPA: 3.8" (which is the average of the two GPAs), can this screw me over later onwards?
Yes, unless you've taken exactly equivalent credits at each your GPA is not the average
The most accepted way to do it is to list whatever your current cumulative GPA is - whether they include your old school GPA or not. If you don't want to do this, put individual GPAs for both schools.
GPA is like the one thing they will consistently verify so don't play any games with it
Man that sucks, very light embellishing. What tier was the bb in? Can you give like similar banks, curious who dinged you.
How did they tell you?
A call from HR?
I don’t believe this for a second. They can’t use a background check to pull up your ACT score/ it’s not public information and rounding a gpa to the nearest tenth is pretty standard. Something else happened. Unless you provided materials with your ACT score, a college transcript wouldn’t even list it. This is such a weird post, that said, yeah, dumb kids, don’t lie about things on your resume. If you do and get caught, it can go very very poorly.
This.

You should probably calculate your overall college GPA instead. Depending on the grades you got in each school term you might be misreporting by averaging the two
same, this is 1000% a troll as Ive been in on the process and no way an offer gets rescinded for this
….
Whenever we have rescinded an offer we NEVER state the reasons why. This is standard practice at pretty much every place because giving reasons only opens you up to potential lawsuits. Everyone is employed at will and can be fired for any reason, besides the protected ones of course. It’s very odd that a bulge bracket would tell you the specific reasons your offer was rescinded.
Highly doubt it was the ACT score.
Stuff like this happens when one of your references says something unfavorable about you. This might have questioned their hiring decision.
Highly doubt it's the GPA as well. Rounding is standard across the industry.
Doesn't happen, nobody checks this.
Light embellishment is standard in the industry anyway.
