<p>I go to a fairly rigorous high school and have about 75% A+s, the rest A's. Do people who go to harvard/princeton/yale get all A+s?</p>
<p>Yes of course.</p>
<p>i second newest newb,</p>
<p>yes you do. you have to be the best in your class.</p>
<p>I went to the most competitive high school and had about 138% A+s, the rest, unfortunately, were As. I got waitlisted.</p>
<p>You, sir, are screwed.</p>
<p>The problem with an ‘A’ is that it is a second rate mark. These are not second rate colleges. Do the math (unless you only got an ‘A’ for math in which case I will do it for you) - yes, you do.</p>
<p>Only 75% A+s? Sorry, but for Princeton that simply doesn’t cut it. Save your money and apply elsewhere.</p>
<p>Holaamiga- not every single person at an ivy has all A+s. If you like the school, apply and don’t listen to negative comments. It’ll hurt more if you don’t try vs never applying.</p>
<p>I know this one kid who had a 94% in Linear Algebra as a sophomore and still got waitlisted at Princeton. If you can score higher, you’re not doing well enough.</p>
<p>Ahaha you people sicken me. But seriously. An A is an A.
A vs. A+ isn’t huge. A-, now, is a whole different story. Might as well be an F.</p>
<p>Yes, if you get an A-, don’t even bother applying. A’s are fine though, if you don’t get more than one per semester.</p>
<p>Only 24% of admitted students last year had a 4.00 GPA. Very, very few students can maintain straight A+'s while taking the toughest course load offered.</p>
<p>And very, very few students can get into Princeton. The ones who get all A+'s are those students.</p>
<p>The people with 4.00GPAs must have been athletes or legacies. Everyone else had way higher than that.</p>
<p>holamiga: for all your A+s and As, you’ve become the butt of everyone’s joking here. Take some of that book smarts and use some analytical reasoning here. You’re quite foolish to believe that only 4.00 GPA students get into the most selective schools. </p>
<p>You should look at the Princeton Website and see what THEY deem as qualities of viable applicants. If, after that, your question is still unanswered, then you should NOT apply to Princeton because you obviously can’t discern obvious instructions.</p>
<p>only class rank matters, not actual gpa.</p>
