Most things list GPAs with at the most two numbers after the decimal, right? So is it okay to say that I have a 3.0?

The admissions committee will have your transcript right in front of them as they consider your application. Rounding up on the self-reported GPA might give the committee a chuckle, but in their decision-making, they'll be going by the actual number on your transcript.
My advice? Self-report 2.99. If your GPA in courses in your major (assuming this is your intended field of grad study) is higher, be sure to indicate that actual number as well.

i wouldn't because 3.0 is not on your official transcript the 2.99 is.. and some colleges and universities don't round up so you can be in a situation if you did write that and not have it.

Risky, especially since they will see the actual transcript. Not that it makes much difference grade wise, but you don't want to be accused of exaggerating. Actually, I'd recommend asking your college counselors that question, since they are in the industry and we can hope they know SOMETHING.

It depends on the college. Some colleges don't round up.
