Is a 4.0 a 4.0?

Rather than whether a 93 is an A or a B, I think a far greater difference is the level of competition at a high school versus another high school (or even the “average” high school). At my oldest’s high school (which sends ~20% to Ivy), the average ACT is 32. There are lots and lots of 99th percentile kids. Lots of competition. So, to answer the topic, no, I don’t believe a 4.0 is a 4.0.
