Will I get dinged for this?
My GPA was a 3.72 but I put 3.75 on my resume. Is this ok?

Yes and blacklisted from every single bank as well
HR normally puts out a hit on people like you... I'd watch your back.
It's fine, but the benefit is trivial so don't do it again. Is it because there was a dropdown that asked you to put your range and 3.75-4.0 was one of them? If so I'd have done the same thing.
I'm not saying to lie and I AM not saying this to suggest you stop working hard. But remember, these banks aren't your parents or your school. They are firms that need you to work for them. Don't act like they are doing you a favor or they have power over you. If someone says "oh you put 3.72" you can just say "Oh yeah sorry I made a mistake." They 99.9% won't care because it's trivial. But if the 00.01% cares? Just tell them to fuck off, but in kinder words. You don't owe them anything. You are an adult and capable of telling them to suck their own dicks. You obviously could gain from working for them, but you might lose. And you don't owe them anything.
Context matters a lot here. In some situations it could be OK, in some situations it could be not.
I'd most likely just put 3.72.
The best way to think about it is that when they scan your resume they likely won't look too much further than the 10ths place. A 3.7=3.73=3.74=3.78. They know you're an A student in that range and they're going to move along to the other indicators, and that's where you should be focusing.
OP I hope you posted from a proxy, the background check is gonna find this post. It's probably already too late.
Why would you do something like that? Out of curiosity. 3.72 isn't low and would get you interviews, but it's certainly not a 3.75...
3.72 rounds up to 4.00
