Know this question is common but need help please!

Hey guys, I know this question is asked way to often on WSO but really need your help and would appreciate it.

I currently have a gpa of 3.191 which I am rounding up to 3.2. Unfortunately, before last semester by gpa was a 3.25 which I rounded up to 3.3 (and got a SA position so I assume that was fine) and the cut off for many of the firms that come to my school is 3.3.

I have done a lot of networking but the online resume profile through my school system has it's own cutoff system so if my GPA is below 3.3 I won't be able to drop my resume for a lot of the firms with this gpa cut off. I am retaking a few classes this semester and I know I will score a semester GPA high enough to get my cumulative gpa to atleast a 3.24 - 3.25 range.

My question is can, I put 3.3 on my resume and hope that the firms will only do a transcript check after this semester? This is for full time btw.

Wont the system cut you off anyways since YOU can't change your gpa for the system? At my school they do, and if you change it, they kick you out of recruiting.

Yeah have to be careful with that. Some schools are very strict there, but for my school, you created your own "career" profile and filled in your GPA yourself. I got away with putting down 3.5 even though I had a 3.44 my junior year. I assume in my case, the school was more relaxed and would let you through as long as it was within reason.
