^^Once again, these are just numbers. At most schools, they are looked at in the context of your school. At some schools, high GPA’s are the norm and not all that difficult to obtain. There are schools with multiple valedictorians and then there are rigorous, private schools, where a 4.0 is virtually unheard of. Many of these schools do not rank or weight grades so admissions officers have no idea where a student even stands in relation to the rest of his class and must weigh each transcript separately based on the rigor of the individual student’s curriculum and the school profile. Do not get too hung up with the numbers.
