<p>My GPA up to fall 2006 is '3.6964..'.
Should I consider it as 3.69 or 3.70?
I know there is only .01 difference, but it feels quite different between those two gpas.</p>
<p>If you're smart enough to get a 3.7 you'd know that 3.6964 rounds to 3.7. This coming from a guy who has a 3.22</p>
<p>I think it's a 3.7 I got a 3.933 and I'm not cavalier enough to raise it to a 4.0 though.</p>
<p>You consider that as a 3.69 I think.</p>
<p>My real GPA is 3.8472 and the school automatically raised it up to a 3.85. So I'm guessing you should raise it up.</p>
<p>But then, 3.998 really isn't a 4.0...</p>
<p>A lot of people will truncate the number, giving you a 3.69. Some will round it up, giving you a 3.70.</p>
<p>It really depends, as everything does, on who's looking at it. If it's for an application, ask them directly how they would do it. If it's just for you? Round it up.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter - they're both great. Do whichever you feel comfortable with.</p>
<p>This is just like a product being listed at $50 instead of $49...it's pretty much negligible</p>
<p>so if someone has a 3.57 its a 3.6?</p>
<p>3.57 is a (if round not truncate):
whole number: 4
one-decimal: 3.6
two-decimal: 3.57
three-decimal: 3.570
...</p>
<p>What I was asking is my 'official GPA' which will be seen on my transcript, while I consider it as 3.70 to give myself peace of mind. ^.^</p>

<p>And you shouldn't be. Most schools go to the third decimal place in calculating a GPA, so it is not even close to the big four oh'.</p>
<p>Using the same reasoning: a 3.6964 when telescoped to the third decimal place is a 3.696. That wouldn't qualify you for magna cum laude here at Georgetown, which is a 3.700+.</p>
<p>Thanks for crushing my ego :) hahha just playin</p>
