Job post says 3.0 required.

My school assigns .3 to +s and .7 to -s, instead of .33/.66

So despite my B average, I have a 2.98 or something like that.

Does this not satisfy the 3.0 requirement?

Besides weird grade scales, a 2.98 would be considered a 3.0 I would think

that's what i'm hoping.

i was kind of mad when i first realized the .3/.7 split and what impact it would have on my sorry 2.98 ass.

i mean, not that i'm expecting to get these jobs, not at all. i'd just like them to at least look over my resume before tossing it in the pile for having a 2.98

You have a 3.0 - just round your GPA to the tenths place. Done.

OCS actually tells us to round to three decimal places. Ridiculous.

You're close enough that you should apply. Of course, they'll probably find people with better GPAs ITE but who knows, maybe you'll impress them.
