My university has a unique numeric grading scale. How would a 3.8 in a class be calculated in amcas?

My schools grading scale is basically 98-100 is a 4.0 97 is a 3.9 and 95-96 is a 3.8. Since this grading scale is more difficult will the amcas count a 3.9 or 3.8 in a class as a 4.0? Since an A is treated as a 4.0 and an A- is a 3.7 in mcas, I was thinking they would round it to a 4.0. I tried contacting the amcas but I keep getting different answers depending on who I talk to. Even my schools registrar is not giving me answers. I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong spot.
Thank you!

A 3.9 counts as a 3.9. A 3.8 counts as a 3.8. If your school gives letter grades, you put letter grades into AMCAS. If your school gives you numerical grades you put numerical grades in. They will not round your numerical grades.
