Bad GPA for Top Schools

I think the out of “4.3 gpa scale” was missed.

3.85-3.9/4.3 gpa scale = 3.58 - 3.62/4.0 gpa scale

So, the poster is not being disingenuous at all, but has a real question as to whether a B+ to A- GPA in freshman year might impact her chances at top schools.

The answer is that at the most competitive schools, a higher GPA is better, but you certainly have plenty of time to raise your GPA.

Your maximum achievable GPA is pretty close to a 3.9/4.0 by the end of junior year, so you definitely have not blown your chances at top schools.
