Question for a friend

“My U.W. g.p.a is 3.95(my weight g.p.a is about 4.69) and my rank is 1/800+(very big school). I’m pretty sure the difference between that and someone with a 4.0 U.W. and rank 1 is very small. But my parents, who have just been reviewing my app, don’t seem to think so. Can you guys give me some reasons on who is right and why. Thanks.”
