Our suburban high school is considered one of the most competitive high schools in the Houston area where a 4.0 doesn't even make it in the top 25%. She is a beautiful young lady who was a member of the Homecoming Court and involved in many extracurricular activities, though, so I assume that made up for the lower GPA.

Thanks UHDEEGEE! You are describing my daughter almost to a "T". She is very involved at her school and outside of school which should help. I just shudder to think that a 3.8 is considered a lower GPA!! We also live in a highly competitive school district where my daughter is BARELY in the top quarter with a 3.8 (she got a B in her freshmen year and another B in an AP class, thus the 3.8 GPA..)
I find it shocking that this is considered a less than great GPA!! This will be very discouraging to my daughter, as it is to me.
