is a 3.46 = 3.5?
how about 3.39 = 3.4?
how many significant figures does amcas use?

thanks!

if you're complete, you can log in to AMCAS and see your GPA. I haven't done it lately, maybe if the application deadlines have all passed they don't let you log in anymore, i don't know. anyways, when i checked it had my science and total GPA both with 2 decimal spaces. So a 3.46 would be a 3.46 and a 3.39 would be a 3.39.

2 numbers after decimal point (i.e. 3.75)

oh really? thats how you do it? see i've always gone with 2 separate rounds of rounding.

Round 1: 3.46 to 3.5
Round 2: 3.5 to 4

just makes more sense to me, but if you have a 3.44, good luck.

I like the way you think 👍
