<p>The sorts of GPAs we are talking about (3.3-3.5) are not “marginal”. Yes, there are people like my Dad who had a high school GPA of 4.0 and was offered full scholarships to Harvard and MIT, but the rest of us get to have college educations as well.</p>
<p>These are very good GPAs, and I am uncomfortable with folks telling their kids that there is something wrong with these GPAS. Especially when we are talking about kids with artistic rather than academic aspirations.</p>
<p>Personally, I am a high school dropout, so I don’t even HAVE a GPA. But I was still able to go on and get both a BA with honors and a JD with distinction.</p>
<p>Stop obsessing about “perfect” GPAs!!!</p>
