Transfer - What should I put on my app?

I transferred after my freshman year of college and I’ve now completed my sophomore year at my new school. My cum GPA was 3.69 at a my old school and 3.49 and my new. What should I put on my app as my GPA? My worry is that if I put the average, they’ll ask for my transcript and get something noticeably lower. Any ideas?

I would say you need to go with 3.49. This is just my opinion (and I'm not a hiring coordinator or anything like that) so take it for what it's worth. However, everyone knows that when you transfer your gpa resets. For better or worse, you use the gpa at your current school.
