Averaging Transfer GPA
I had transferred to another school last semester and messed up and got a C+ in a class (3.68 GPA currently). At my old school I had a 3.94. For my resume, would it look bad to show the 3.68 GPA, or should I average them out?

You can't just average them because then it won't match what your school has if they check it. Put the 3.68, and if you want to put the 3.94 next to your old school on the resume that is fine too
FWIW 3.68 is a completely fine GPA, just round up to 3.7. Not low enough to chance your offer getting pulled if they check GPA
Depends on where you put the GPA. If it's above the school then it's fine, if it's listed under the school then it's considered lying.
3.7 shouldn’t be a problem. But if you have any questions this page from UPenn is decent at explaining how to list your gpa when transferring: https://careerservices.upenn.edu/resume-transcript-faqs-for-transfer-st…
Solid advice on the site above. And for a more anecdotal sample, I've put the weighted average of the previous and last college I've attended and haven't gotten questioned on it once from the number of firms that I've worked at post-graduation.

Perfectly fine to combine GPA’s if you weight them correctly. I did this after I transferred- included both schools but only listed one GPA with the wording “Cumulative College GPA”.
See the below:

You can't do this at every school. Some schools (Cornell for example) strictly forbid you from combining schools
