<p>I think it really depends on the calibre of your school i.e. competitive, average etc. And as far as i can see coming top 8% with a 3.6 gpa would probably put your school in the competitive category. I mean, a 3.6 gpa in the top 10% is not the same as a 3.6 gpa in the top 50%. Get what I mean?</p>
