where you sit from 3.6-4.0 is just one a few equal slices of the pie imo

statistics say 3.7+ for most of those schools to be competitive…but it really depends on course load. comp 101, music of our times, humanities, reading and writing vs. organic chemistry, genetics, physics, anatomy

ect. your major is looked at as well as extra curriculars. that gpa is a lot harder earned if you kept yourself busy. They don’t just look at your gpa straight up, they try and get more of a holistic view of the applicant (so I’ve been told)

look at the 3.7 as more of a qualifying component to put you into the mixing bowl, and everything else what actually gets you admission is how I would tend to approach it.
