I have a couple of questions regarding ivy league colleges and gpa in general:
a)what is the acceptable range for unweighted gpa?
b)how many B’s or B+'s, if any, are acceptable?
c)How much would rigorous course load factor in? For example, if one took the highest number of APs in his school, but had a slightly lower gpa than others, which would be better?
d)Do colleges only factor in the first three years for gpa?
e) how important is gpa?

In my situation as a Junior, I’ve had all A’s/A+'s in freshman, soph, junior year except one B+ which will bring my UW gpa down to a 3.95. I have taken more APs than any other student in the school (did summer courses to fit more in schedule). What would ivies think?
