Graduated Cornell in May and applying for WM analyst positions. I know the usual cutoff is 3.5 for putting GPA on resume but will it seem sus if I leave it off?

Thats a 3.4 which isn't the total end of the world. Some might assume you are in the 2's by leaving it off
I would leave it off. And for wealth management you're practically guaranteed a job.
I'd say put it on, but it is up to you. You can still get in without it but expect them to ask about it. Personally I have been told if you don't put your GPA they will assume it is pretty low. People with 3.5 and above always put that on their resume's so it is assumed when you don't it is low but how low is based on the recruiter.
Follow up: can I round to 3.4?
You could, but 3.4 isn't that impressive.
