Does 3.29 = 3.3? Citi Sophomore GPA Cutoff

I know there have been discussions here about rounding GPA before, but My case is tricky since I’m not rounding to Impress, rather to qualify.

In my mind, I meet the cut. However, In spirit of ethics, does 3.29 = 3.3 for the application?

I was ready to send in the proof/statement from the registrar that my real GPA was the one on my resume, but it never came and nobody asked about it. </.1>

 

GPA cutoffs are different from rounding to look slightly better. If you have a 3.29 you don’t qualify for a 3.3, and it’s dishonest to say you have a 3.3.

If you want to try for it and not be dishonest, put 3.29 on your resume. If you want to be dishonest, round to a 3.3. It’s as simple as that. It would be different if you had a 3.59 rounded to 3.6 and the cutoff was 3.3 because you’d make the 3:3 cutoff easily.
