Rounding GPA (3.79 -> 3.8?) for apps
How much GPA rounding is acceptable in job applications?
My GPA is 3.79. On Citi's application, you have to pick which category your GPA is in; should I pick the one that says 3.8-3.9/4.0 or the one that says 3.5+/4.0?
Don't sweat it, you're allowed to round up. Most people do it, and there's nothing that says you can't.
Thank you!
I would do 3.5+/4.0. Grades are marginal past a threshold. You will be bracketed with the other kids who are in that range in a tier below 3.8/3.9. However, you will be at the upper bound of 3.5+ being the most competitive in that bracket. If your app makes up for it in other regards, be more conservative. Under promise and over deliver.
That's only if you get into the room
Well said, young dingo.
Maybe I'm out of my element here, but I've never seen HR/hiring managers bracket candidates by GPA to the point they'll forgo hiring the 3.8 in favor of the 3.7 who has the same experience and background by merit of the latter being at the top of the next bracket down...
