iamwhoiam Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 So my current GPA up to date is 3.698x, but after this fall semester is over (+graduation!) I know I'll have a GPA over 3.7 (because I'm taking seminar classes where everyone gets an A, unless you never show up to class). So I was writing my applications and I was putting 3.7 in until I realized that wouldn't be in the transcripts I send out in mid Nov. *sigh* I guess I should just write 3.6? (or at least, 3.69). I'm a little sad that I might be cut off or get sorted into a 3.6 pile of applicants...silly thing to be worrying about, I know, but hey, doesn't everyone have application paranoia? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialcomm Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'd put whatever is on your transcripts. But yes, I do understand where you're coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlee306 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 It sucks doesn't it. My GPA will go up after I send my application in as well. Since you already have a 3.69, they will probably know that it will be higher by next semester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acup313 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I would just put 3.7, but I guess I am riskier than most. They will probably just assume that you rounded it if they look in to that much detail, if you want to play it safe I doubt they would put too much weight in a less than .002 of a difference.

Rounding that up would be appropriate since only two decimal places are allowed anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIK3 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I don't see why that isn't a 3.7. Rounding that up would be appropriate since only two decimal places are allowed anyways. I'd put 3.7. And, you can substantiate that by re-sending your transcripts after this semester ends if you'd like. They'd get there before admission decisions were made, I'd assume.
