Impressive or nah?
Before you ask - I also did a ton of stuff outside school.
You
can’t
be
serious.
This is humblebragging and/or disingenuous to the extreme. You and your six internships that you don’t even know how to put on the application already know the answer.
I’ve learned that the people here on CC really dislike people who KNOW that their stats are fantastic and still act like they’re unsure about themselves. Please don’t do it, it’s not really a nice thing for individuals who have lower scores and see someone with perfect stats “worrying” about their stats.
But, the fact is: That 36 puts you in an extremely advantageous position. If you have a perfect 4.0, you’re set. you have cleared the academic threshold. Now what’s left is the holistic part of the process.
The immortal lyrics of Mac Davis:
- Lord it’s hard to be humble
When you’re perfect in every way.
I can’t wait to look in the mirror.
Cause I get better looking each day.
To know me is to love me.
I must be a hell of a man.
Oh Lord It’s hard to be humble,
But I’m doing the best that I can.*

There are about 200 + who get the perfect 45. I wonder how many people are predicted to get it though.
Like for everyone else who has high scores and grades…it depends.
Is this
a) a humblebrag?,
b) a lie?, or
c) “projected” stats?
I’m guessing c).
You don’t have to get perfect anything to meet the academic threshold. There IS a benchmark and after that things really do get “holistic.” A person with an 800 isn’t that much more likely to get in than a person with a 750 or even a 720- it depends on other things. Like…um…“character.”
