Based on the most helpful WSO content, rounding your GPA to 3.7 on your resume is generally acceptable and often recommended, especially if it helps you meet a screening threshold like 3.7. Many users in WSO threads have shared that rounding up to the nearest tenth (e.g., 3.66 to 3.7) is a common practice and unlikely to raise concerns, as long as it aligns with standard rounding rules.

However, if you're submitting applications through portals with dropdown GPA fields, it's best to input your exact GPA (e.g., 3.66) unless the system allows rounding. Always ensure consistency between your resume and any official documents (like transcripts) that might be requested later.

If you’re at a good school and good bank I don’t think it matters as much
