Rounding to 3.7 or staying at 3.6X for OCR?
I'm an incoming IB analyst at a large non-BB (RBC, Wells, etc) and from a target (Duke, Cornell, etc). I'm curious as to what those of you who have had experience on the other side of the aisle when hiring in PE have to say about GPAs and the OCR process. How much does it matter? Should I round my 3.6X GPA to a 3.7 or leave it as-is? Does leaving it as-is close doors for me at MM/UMM shops, or am I overthinking things?
I'd appreciate any transparent feedback people can provide. I want to know what my realistic expectations should be and whether my GPA /bank prstige situation will immediately shut the door on UMM/MF opportunities right away.

Would round up
Well, 3.6 (the "x" might be the most important piece here, thank you for excluding) rounds up to 4.0, so just put 4.0
Are you retarded? 3.6 rounds to 4, not 4.0.
How did you make director, bro?
Some variation of this stupid fucking question gets asked once a week. It doesn't warrant a serious response.
Round up, 100%. No brainer to me
Round up… nobody cares.
"close to 4" should do
Keep it if its a 3.69 ;)
Depends on the x. If its 3.695 for example, round. If its <3.69, leave b/c thats kinda misleading.
That’s only true if they’re rounding to a 3.70 - you can round a 3.65 to a 3.7
90% of headhunters registration portals have you input gpa to two decimals. How do you think it looks when you submit your resume to firms for networking events or OCR as a 3.7, then when they get your info from the headhunters its a 3.65? And if you round to a 3.70 on the headhunter portals your just lying at that point.
And while you can round technically, it can often be interpreted if you put a 3.7 that you are rounding and trying to inflate.
Congrats! 3.61 is a great GPA!
