I don't see a problem with it. Just make sure to keep it 3.8, not 3.80
Out of curiosity, what’s the rationale for being able to round for 3.79 that doesn’t work with 3.78?
I want to know how he has a 3.8 GPA (rounded) without knowing how to round numbers
A family member of mine is an MD for BCG. I gave him my resume to critique. I had a 3.45 GPA at the time he suggested that I round up to 3.5. If you’re at X. X5 or higher he says it’s ok to round up. If you’re less don’t round down keep it at the true number. 3.44 stays as such.
I asked him if that applies for every job type. He said yes.
Hope this helps
