Firstly, I’m didn’t mean to come off as humble bragging, so my apologies.
Secondly, as you might have missed when I said my school’s one of the top schools in the state, maybe even the country, so everyone here has incredibly high grades, like I mean mid-high As, so in comparison my GPA seems weaker. I know many people who have much higher grades in me, and so admissions officers might pick them over me.
You shouldn’t really be accusing me of being coy and bragging if you don’t know the full background, but I apologize if you were perhaps offended.
