Resume Mistake, GPA incorrect

I recently applied to a job on the buyside, and was accepted for an interview. However, the GPA I listed and the one on my transcript are different, and they have asked for a copy of my transcript. The reason they are different is because I have a grade that is pending - I am appealing it, and it should be higher. The difference isn't large - 3.6 vs. 3.63, but I put down 3.63. Is this a problem?

I was a bit worried because this isn't a bank, it is a firm that definitely places a premium on their analyst pedigree. It is small enough that they definitely can check resumes against transcripts

 

(1) Odds are, nobody will notice. You should be golden.

(2) Just curious, what class is the appeal for? What grade did you receive and what do you think you deserve?

Have you ever thought of investing in real estate?
 

(1) Thanks, was worried because this is small, elite firm that I'm sure cares

(2) It is for a writing heavy class, like a politics/history/gov class. My final paper brought down my grade to a B+, but I thought that was quite unfair and brought it to another person in the department who agreed that even subjectively this deserved a higher grade. So I appealed, and I have had multiple advisors in the department say that it should be at the very least an A-, if not higher. But the grade on my transcript hasn't changed because the appeal process isn't over
