GPA Decimal Points

Question

My GPA is 3.68. I'm wondering if it's acceptable if I put 3.7 / 4.0 on my resume? Since I heard that 3.7 GPA is a standard for MBB firms.

Answer 1

Hi there,

yes, it is totally fine to round it – you are not lying doing so and will make a better impression.

Answer 2

Hi There,

Not sure which office you are referring to, but in Southeast Asia, the GPA requirement is definitely not that high.

Your GPA at 3.68 is considered very strong already, so I don't think rounding it up will help anything.

Hope this helps.

Hi Anonymous,

3.7 is good and OK rounding, 4.0 seems to much to me...

Answer 7

Hello!

I would always round to one decimal.

3.7 seems good

4.0 is not accurate, since it seems "perfection" when it´s not

3.68 is too much information for the level of a CV

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara
