Is it REALLY that hard?

<p>It’s weird to think that you need a 4.0+ to get into a “good” school. A 4.0 used to get you into a great school, but times have changed. I know wikipedia isn’t the best resource to use, but according to wiki the top 1/8 of graduating CA high school seniors should be accepted to at least 1 UC and the top 1/3 to a CSU. The standards are high.</p>
