When aacom takes my gpa and submits it (right now a 2.95 but have 2 more semesters of grades so hopefully higher), will they send it to med schools as a 2.95, 2.9 or 3.0?

I'm pretty sure it will be sent as 2.95. That's how many sig figs I saw on my application profile after it was complete.

2.95....I know Im on the same boat as you. I wish they round it off too.

What do you guys think a 3.429 would be rounded to? 3.42 or 3.43?

I believe that they do not round at all! 🙁 So, I would say, 3.42

don, let's be honest. You will never be sig-fig free. I have been trying to get rid of mine for months, but they keep coming back.

Those of us attending ivy league dental schools are obliged to chase sig figs forever while those of us attending humble osteopathic schools should be let off the hook. And may I remind you, it does not say RSVP on the statue of liberty.
