GPA rounding?

[Guest abba]

This may seem trivial, but do schools only look at your GPA to 2 decimal places. If so, do you simply cut off the other decimal places or do you round?

 

Thanks.

It would depend on each medical school, so if your GPA is that borderline to a cut-off or threshold, I would definitely contact the med school to clarify this. I suspect that most use two decimal places, and that they would round in the mathematically-accepted manner to achieve a two decimal score rather than just truncating. Still, if it's that worrying, it's best to check with them directly.
