<p>Just to clarify, a 3.75 is above an A- GPA unweighted. I have above a 4 weighted (they’re almost entirely honors courses). I have been elected student body president, have really tremendous ECs and a perfect SAT score. </p>
<p>So what I am really asking here is this: is the difference between an A and an A- actually that big of a deal to colleges? Especially given my other great stats?</p>
<p>swingtime, I really appreciate your realism, but am obviously skeptical that you went to UChicago or Harvard (you are after all just a stranger on the internet). However, I would appreciate some suggestions on good target or safety schools given my credentials.
I like medium sized schools near cities; Rice is pretty ideal though a little on the small side. I’m not at all interested in a name, just a good school. And yes, I am strongly interested in science.</p>
