Listing Projected GPA to Raise That Shit

I have a 3.03 and am still sending around resumes. If I get a 3.9 or 4.0 this quarter (ends in March), I'll be able to round to a 3.2. Should I list that now? If I don't hit that, I'll just say that some classes didn't go as well as expected.

I guess, will the higher chance of being looked at outweigh the risk of getting my resume dumped because of the GPA dump?

Bad idea. People won't give you the benefit of the doubt if you say projected 3.2, which clearly means you're below that - at least that's how I would look at it. Projected 3.2 is not the same as 3.2 and if you list it and miss it, you will lose more credibility still.
