Is a 3.8 really too low for top schools?

I honestly don’t think that colleges care about weighted gpa’s anymore. It seems like they just look at your unweighted and compare that with your course rigor. Does anyone think that amazing essays or any other part of the essay except testing can offset a slightly lower gpa? Obviously outstanding EC’s as said above can make the difference, but im talking about more minor parts of the application ex: supplements, letters of rec, school. Do you think that it changes a lot when you go from a 3.8 to a 3.7? How much does each .1 change your chances?
