<p>How hard do you suppose it is to pull of an A+ in your science classes? I know of people at Stanford with GPA’s above 4.0, which is insanely intimidating to me. Admittedly, they’re all freshmen and sophomores, but still, the idea of having a 4.2 for a quarter just boggles my mind.</p>
<p>Moreover, do you think that, because 4.3’s are possible, GPA’s like 3.9 mean less to competitive graduate schools from Stanford than they do from its rival institutions?</p>
