<p>There’s more to admissions than GPA. A school with nothing but students who “work to the scores” and have nothing to offer the community but their stats would be a horrible place to work. The people who admit you have to be around you for at least four years, and they’re not masochists. It’s not as though a student with a 4.00 is better than a student with a 3.99 by 0.01. You have to look at the whole package.</p>
<p>And frankly, in case you hadn’t noticed, there are extremely few black students. You are probably exceptionally good, if anything.</p>
