I got my official score report today and am pretty happy with my score.

I noticed that for whatever reasons, i underreported my GPA by about .1 . I know that may not sound like a lot, but I can't imagine that misreporting your GPA is seen as a good thing. Does anyone know if the optionally self-reported GPA shows up on official score reports? If so, does anyone actually pay attention to them, or does everyone take more stock in official transcripts (which would also make sense)?

Does it matter if the e-mail address I used for the GMAT is different from my school e-mail address? I used it because this other e-mail address will exist even after my school e-mail address is no longer supported. Also, for the sake of admissions (I'll likely be applying for a MAcc soon), and also for consistency's sake, does it matter which e-mail address is used for applications?

I couldn't seem to find the answers to either of these elsewhere. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
