Round GPA vs adding major GPA?
Hello all. I'm a student who's hoping to land in banking, but I started out in a non-math-related science major before hearing about banking (think basic biology or basic physiology). In my science classes, I didn't try hard enough and had a rough GPA - my GPA was around a 3.5 at one point. I've been grinding and it's now a high 3.7, but in my major GPA (now econ/finance related) I have a high 3.9.
On my resume, I can either keep just cumulative GPA and round it up to a 3.8 or I can keep it at a 3.7X and put my major GPA next to it as 3.9X. I obviously can't put 3.80 cGPA because 3.80 isn't correct, and I can't round to a 4.0 major GPA because I didn't score perfectly and rounding to a 4.0 is a big no-no. If you were in my shoes, would you put just 3.8cGPA on the resume or would you put (for example) 3.98 major GPA + 3.76 cumulative GPA?
The last post on something like this was in 2008, so I figured it would be good to get updated advice. Thanks in advance.

If u have a 3.76, rounding to 3.8 is fine imo. Just list ur cumulative or major, but not both. Either number is good enough so up to u.
If you have a 3.76, you can round to a 3.8, but not a 3.80 I would put the major GPA but your choice
