School=Death!

So remember my post about how I'd be getting into Huntsman School of Business soon? Well, that might not be the case anymore. I got my grades back for this semester and according to my transcript I have a 2.66 GPA (I have bad grades I know...) and I need a 2.67 to get accepted. I'm a little bummed about it. But get this, the way USU calculates its GPA is to take the Quality Points and divide it by how many credits you've passed. I have 237.30 quality points and I've passed 89 credits. So if I do the math and round to 3 decimal places, 237.30/89=2.666. I don't know about everyone else but I learned in about 1st grade that when you round if the last number is higher than 5 then you round up. Therefore, I really DO have a 2.67. Basically I'm not getting accepted (which I don't really know for SURE but with my luck I won't) on a technicality. I'm super annoyed... I'm going to talk to an advisor tomorrow and see what I can do, and I did register for an internship class that I'm hoping I can use my job for since I'm there anyway. I'm just waiting on approval for that one. But I really don't want to get rejected just because Utah State can't round like they should! This is the second time I've had to jump through hoops for the stupid School of Business. They are not being nice to me...
