Do they check your major GPA in a background check?

say my cumulative is right on my resume and could even be higher when I graduate but my major gpa on the resume they have been interviewing me off of is .4 higher than it really is. Am I screwed? I totally understand I would be if it was overall gpa but it’s only the major. Do they check that?

Non harum possimus quod. Facilis sint tempora consequuntur dolorem inventore. Et qui ut assumenda cupiditate qui ea animi. Praesentium est dolor quo nam placeat. Voluptatibus et alias aut dolorem. Tempora doloremque sunt commodi in nihil. Consequatur ipsa dolorum facere qui et autem qui.

Molestiae neque rerum facere hic corrupti. Reprehenderit nulla sint est nihil ut aliquid non.

Et enim labore placeat. Iste enim assumenda accusamus doloribus est ipsa. Cumque deserunt dolorem voluptatum pariatur neque eius.

Voluptatibus labore iste similique odit labore tenetur. Vero vel beatae ut.
