4.0 at Harvard

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>My friend at Harvard said that he has yet to meet anyone with a 4.0 at Harvard.</p>

<p>So, for you Harvard students, is there someone there with a 4.0 or someone that has graduated there with a 4.0?</p>

<p>Plus, is it true that Harvard is 1000x harder than high school?</p>

<p>P.S. I'm not going to Harvard. I'm just curious.</p>

<p>I don’t have any hard numbers, but I’ve heard that only a handful of Harvard students have graduated with a perfect 4.0 in its entire 370+ year history. </p>

<p>Harvard students generally work very hard.</p>

<p>There have been only 8 students with perfect GPAs in Harvard’s history. Harvard only switched to a 4.0 GPA system last decade–before that GPAs were out of 15. The last person to get a perfect GPA graudated in 2003.</p>
