GPA Uncovered Grades

I have a 3.21 GPA on my transcript because my school did covered grades first semester freshmen year. If I factor in those grades, my GPA is a 3.25. I do have a piece of paper that shows my freshmen year uncovered grades so I could back up the 3.25. Thoughts?

Dude, if you seriously think you're going to get/not get a job because of 0.04 points on your GPA, then you're a moron and nobody should hire you anyways.

 

Ok, so let's say you round up to 3.3. That's still terrible, and you're still going up against kids with 3.8's, 3.9's and 4.0's.

And by the way - all of those kids are spending this time studying, networking, practicing cases, preparing for interviews, building models, and trying to better themselves, whereas you are on an online forum trying to see if you can take the easy way out and round your GPA up 0.04 points.

Things to consider.

 

Above is correct, the 0.04 makes no difference. State your GPA as a 3.21, people may comment that it's low but 3.25 would get the same comments as well.
