<p>I told over the phone interview my GPA is 3.08,
but I realized it's actually 3.07 (i had calculated my winter GPA wrong)</p>
<p>I was given the onsite interview.</p>
<p>However, I just sent an e-mail to the HR recruiter to please correct my GPA from 3.08 to 3.07...</p>
<p>Can they rescind my interviewee status because of this?</p>
<p>I'm a little concerned, but I thought sooner the better I correct this. below is the e-mail i sent to the recruiter.</p>

<p>Hi. Would you please change my GPA from 3.08 to 3.07? (GPA given during the
phone interview)</p>
<p>One of my course grade from this winter is going to be changed, and I
realized a new calculated GPA came to be 3.07 instead of 3.08.</p>
<p>I would think it's not too big of a deal since 3.07 and 3.08 are differences
in hundredth, but I do not wish any trouble because of this difference in
hundredth later on during the hiring process, so I thought I should make the </p>
<h2>correction now. I'm sorry for the trouble.</h2>
<p>Wow, no it will not make a difference. I don't even report my GPA to the hundreths; only to the tenth. For most companies, there are only 2 or 3 important GPA cutoffs for determining who gets an interview- 3.0 and 3.5. Otherwise, it probably won't make a difference, especially since you already had your interview. </p>
<p>I know someone who once reported her GPA to the thousandths place though; if that doesn't say overly obsessive, I don't know what does.</p>
<p>Last semester, my GPA was a 3.54 in EE
It appeared as a 3.6 on my resume :o</p>
<p>How did that happen? ;/ Well, I still got calls back and had the interviews. The HR recruiters saw my resume/transcript because I had sent both of them. No questions or complaints. No one brought it up. Still got the job - I've accepted the job offer.</p>
<p>I guess it depends on who is viewing your resume. But, again, I've done this with many other companies - Boeing, BAE Systems, Intel - still got calls back from them, even though there was that slight discrepancy.</p>
<p>Not sure about the HR lady if she saw it or not - I didn't interview with her. I'm sure she looked it over.</p>
<p>However, she did send it to the other people (4 of them) who interviewed me. I know they saw it because they were looking at it while interviewing me.</p>
<p>That's such a small difference it doesn't matter. If it were several tenths off, then it would be important.</p>
<p>When your GPA gets really high or really low, I think the sensitivity increases thus justifying reporting to higher precision. A .01 difference when your GPA is 3.950 is of much greater significance than a .01 difference with a GPA of 3.000.</p>
<p>Obviously, people take it differently. HR/technical mangers have their differences, not gloss over individual philosophies. Just correct it to the exact precision given on your transcript. No need for a lossy channel here eh?</p>
My school only calculates it to the tenth, so the only way you'd know you have a 3.16 is if you calculate it yourself, which is not so fun after 8 semesters.</p>
