I'm saying tell them which it is, and leave it at that. That's what they asked you, which one is correct? Simply respond to whoever you're supposed to respond to and say the school is correct. Unless, if you took classes at another college your aggregate score could be higher than the one at that one school, which is why they're asking. Some applications don't have space for multiple colleges. What I'm saying is don't offer an explanation of why this happened unless they ask you for it. If they care, they'll ask, if the don't care they won't, and so in which case there's no reason to volunteer information. If they do ask why the discrepancy, tell them the truth. In my case I have multiple colleges I went to. I would have had no idea what my undergraduate GPA was without asking someone at my last school for it (their computer calculated it). I actually thought my undergraduate GPA was a 3.8 and it was a 3.72 – our brains probably like to round the numbers up LOL. The two numbers are not really that different. It's not like your GPA was 2.0 and you put 3.0. If they ask why, tell them you thought it was 3.0 and in good faith that's what you put. You're surprised that it isn't 3.0 but the school must be correct. Honestly, I'm a big fan of pleading ignorance, and in this case that's really what happened. You didn't purposely lie, you didn't know. Sheesh if they're not going to hire you over 0.14 GPA, you probably didn't want to work for them anyhow. Everyone makes mistakes. The problem becomes when you don't take responsibility for the mistakes you make. Whatever you do, don't lie about it. Remember, Judge Judy says if you tell the truth you don't have to have a very good memory.
EDIT: If you feel the need to explain why because it makes you feel better, keep it as concise, short and simple as possible. The more people ramble about something, it usually makes others think they're lying, even if they're not. You can tell them you thought it was 3.0 and are quite mortified that you made such a mistake. Or something to that effect. And then shut up. Whatever they do they will do and it will be the way things are supposed to go for you. Everything happens for a reason.

I've found an anomaly in the Space-Time Continuum. NASBA and the AICPA are in the 19th century. They use slide rules to score the exam, and then they send the
scores by Pony Express to the State Boards. That's why it takes so long for them to do a
score release.
