<p>Do colleges (ivies, NYU Stern, Georgetown to be specific) look at the GPA like 3.75 or 3.8?</p>
<p>That's competitive for all but probably the top Ivies (Harvard, Princeton, Yale), but you'd really be much better off if you have a good reason (personal reason for instance), or if your class rank sort of supports it (ie. if you have a 3.2, but you're valedictorian of some super competitive school) That being said, GPA seriously fluctuates from school to school, which is is why you can't ask whether or not a school looks at a GPA without looking at the standardized test scores. The two sort of support each other, since a low GPA and high SAT could necessarily mean that the school is competitive. I think it would likely be more of an issue if someone were to have a perfect GPA, but lack the SAT scores that would bring relevance to it.</p>
<p>no, I mean do they round the GPA up or leave it to the second decimal space.</p>
<p>OH. I think they round it to the nearest hundredth, so 3.75.</p>
