<p>Princess, we’ve gone over this in every single one of your threads. You do NOT have a 3.61. That’s your weighted GPA. Unweighted, you have a 3.23 including Freshman year and a 3.25 excluding Freshman year.</p>
<p>You guys are talking to princess as if she’s a 10-year old lol.</p>

<p>@Shaggy007 Looking at her threads, some would say she is.</p>

<p>Due to grade deflation issues, class rank matters far more - personally, I have a 3.75 UW, a GPA that places me in the top 2% of a class of 400 in a competitive public high school. No one has ever managed a perfect 4.0 in the 30 years my school has been open. On the other hand, a local catholic school had 6 people with perfect 4.0’s this previous admissions cycle out of a class of 200. Grade inflation matters.</p>
<p>I don’t know about that. My school doesn’t have grade inflation when it comes to our unweighted GPAs and we are a very competitive public high school, but we have around 10 or so kids with perfect 4.0 unweighted GPAs.</p>
<p>It would be unreasonable to ask anyone to get a 4.0 at my high school (it’s uncommon enough that one gets lauded by the faculty for having a single term with such a GPA). Nevertheless, they send some ridiculous percentage (I think it’s 60 or 70) of students to top 25 schools. That students don’t end up with 4.0 GPAs clearly hasn’t been hurting us, while born2dance94’s school shows that having multiple students with a 4.0 doesn’t have to be a problem either. It seems that the logical conclusion would be that the secondary school matters a lot - top-tier colleges generally don’t just look at your GPA without wondering what it means in the context of your school.</p>
