Rounding a 2.92 GPA to 3.0?

Is this ok? I graduated with non-major.

I DID graduate in 3 years though. Trying to land a 2015 IB analyst position

Should I even list the GPA? I graduated in 2012

In this scenario, this is good advice.

Either you get rejected with your 2.9, or they reject you when (if) they find out you lied. Nothing to lose.

 

i think even if you round this to 3.0, you still have no chance to be interviewed. Also I believe you may not considered eligible if you graduated three years ago unless you took a master program for the past three years

 

I honestly didn't know it was possible to graduate without a major. You won't land an interview for IB but if you did it would be brutal so count your blessings.

 

Yes do it. No one cares. 3.0 may make a cutoff or not count against you. Less than 3 really might. All you have to do is say a number of people you spoke with in the industry said it was standard practice (it is)...

Not a big deal. Now stop wasting time with small stuff like this, go hustle, and find a gig.

Good Luck

I used to do Asia-Pacific PE (kind of like FoF). Now I do something else but happy to try and answer questions on that stuff.
 

The only logic that would allow this rounding would also allow rounding of a 3.51 to a 4.0. It's just ridiculous. Since when is it standard practice to lie? If your grade transcript does not say overall GPA you would likely get away with it (and you might even if it is), but it shows a lack of ethics. Man up to your GPA, after all, you are the one who got it. You sat through those classes, sat for exams and ended up with a 2.92. Time to grab life by the balls.
