How much does GPA matter? (3.9 vs 4.0)

I don’t think you should be stressing over a .1 difference in your GPA; one or two Bs does not make the difference when admissions are choosing applicants. Same goes for ACT/SAT. On the ACT, a 32-36 are viewed mostly the same by the admissions committee (both a 32 and 36 are great scores, obviously, and the difference may just be that the perfect scorer is a better test taker). Same goes for SAT. To make you less worried, a girl from my school had a 3.93 GPA and a 33 ACT and got into Harvard.
