Ok real talk here.

A perfect GPA is of course preferred to a nearly perfect one. That being said your GPA is a very small part of what will get you admitted. Perfect 4.0s are routinely rejected by top schools. As are perfect test scores and the combination of both of these things. It’s just plain not enough. GPA and test scores are two things that can literally be emulated by every single student. Focus on the things which are unique to you, things which cannot be shown on the app of any other student. That’s how you will get accepted.
Additionally, there is absolutely nothing you can do about it now. Put it out of your mind and move forward, what will be will be but dwelling on it will only further distract you from other activities and studies.
