<p>After the college recalculates, of course, does it round a GPA or truncate it? And, in either case, how many decimals?</p>
<p>Specifically, here are the numbers:</p>
<p>3.9474 W</p>
<p>3.5789 UW</p>
<p>oh my god . . .</p>
<p>will that .01 kill you?</p>
<p>Silence, please explain. Sarcasm doesn’t have the same effect in the written word as spoken. </p>
<p>Exactly, what .01 are you referring to?</p>
<p>I believe they round, (makes sense, my school atleast did). </p>
<p>so you would have 3.95 and 3.58</p>
<p>^ I think the .01 that would distinguish 3.57 from 3.58 and 3.94 from 3.95…tentatively, I’d agree, since two decimal places seems to be more standard.</p>
<p>But if you’re asking about what colleges will do, I don’t think they are really going to round/truncate your GPA just to look at it that way. In fact, due to various high school GPA systems, colleges are more likely to look at the grades on your transcript and ignore the “number” of the GPA itself. I wouldn’t really worry.</p>
<p>No they truncate. And its a shame, too . . .</p>
<p>I hear 3.58 is the lowest unweighted GPA the ivies will take . . . </p>
