I rounded up my gpa for the self reported section but my school report was already submitted with my official grades.
Answered

I rounded up my gpa from 87.68 to 88 on the self-reported section of the common app. Do you think I'm fine because my counselor submitted my school report. will they think I'm lying? it was an honest mistake because I thought it would be different since we used a 100 scale.

I believe you will be fine. Rounding GPAs are common. For instance, my GPA in my Junior year was 3.78, but my counselors, graduation coach, and teachers said it was fine to round it to 3.8

@twosel I do not think you should worry about this nor consider doing anything about this. Why? Because 88 is a legitimate round-up number. If you said your GPA was 90, then I would probably be concerned.

Good luck.
