Will my 4.0 hurt me?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Is it considered way less cool to get all A's now? It's been a personal goal for me to get all A's and I've done it so far. I haven't done spectacular extracurriculars but I'm certainly not holed up in my room everyday studying... anyway I know lots of kids get in without 4.0s obviously but do you think the reverse is happening at all? </p>

<p>No. At most high schools a 4.0 doesn’t mean very much because there’s a lot of grade inflation, but obviously it’s still better than a non-4.0 (even if only marginally). Mediocre ECs will keep you out of the very top schools.</p>

<p>Lol when I saw your post, I was like is this for real? Let me go check this out. Of course a 4.0 will not hurt you. In fact, it’s amazing. Be proud of your 4.0. It’s a huge accomplishment! Try getting involved with some extracurriculars, they’re sure to help you not only in admissions but in growing as a person.</p>

<p>I can’t believe someone even asked this question. I just facepalmed.</p>

<p>Have you taken appropriately rigorous courses? If so, no problem. If not, hmmm</p>

<p>Well it most definitely won’t hurt you, but it may not be too helpful depending on what school you go to. For example, at my school, the top 10-15 all have 4.0’s generally, so it’s not really that big of a deal.</p>

<p>SMH. Unweighted, a 4.0 is the max, so obviously, that counts for something.</p>
