^ for the record, in the US, “excellent” would be 3.75+ and most Ivy League applicants have a GPA close to 4.0. Unweighted GPAs can go up to 5 or higher BTW but unweighted GPAs go up to 4, meaning all A’s (ie., you were top 3-4 in every class you took in a college-preparatory curriculum including the most advanced or difficult classes your school or country offers.)
3.5 is half A’s, half B’s, which is not bad, but wouldn’t qualify as “exceptional” (at all).
