Is a 4.0 a 4.0?

There are many vals (don’t think they award sals) in local high schools but they’re announced at graduation and not used in college applications. Being named a val even if there’s many is still a source of pride to these kids, they didn’t take fluff courses to get the val, they worked hard and took tough courses. I talked to a sal from my hs and she is still proud of that accomplishment, 30 years later. I didn’t come close to val/sal, but I respect the work they did.
