By design, this kind of pull has little impact. But it can make sure your application gets a good read. It’ll be up to you to make sure it shines when that happens.
You are a strong candidate. Nobody here knows what 3.75 represents at your school. At the school DS attended, it’d have been one of the top in the class. At others, it might have been in the second quartile.
Just be sure to apply to schools you feel would be a great fit for you.
