<p>I think the point he’s trying to get across is that your actual GPA ‘number’ compared to other APPLICANTS (outside of his school) doesn’t mean anything because a 3.8 at one school could be valedictorian, while at another school it may not even be in the top 10%. </p>
<p>(Want proof? There’s a girl on the Yale results thread this year with a ~2.7 GPA, but she’s 3rd in her class… Lol talk about major grade deflation?)</p>
<p>C’mon people; this argument has been said before. =p </p>
<p>Btw, as they’ve said before, rank matters more… Since you’re in the top 10 percent, you’re okay, although ideally, you wanna be in top 5%.</p>
