Btw, just looking at stats, if I had a 4.0 GPA and maybe a higher SAT score would my admissions chances be higher? I believe my extracurriculars and essays (which I haven’t posted here obviously) reflect my genuine passion and commitment, and I can’t help but wonder if that could offset my 3.81. Obviously I understand that a 4.0 is better than a 3.81, but I mean, if it’s really the 4.0 that’ll help… but also I do recognize that it’s my own fault for my grades.
