Is a 3.8 GPA too low for top schools?

Your GPA is fine if you do 2100+ on the SAT. If not you wont be saved because every1 applies to top schools and many people get straight A's. THERE ARE 27,400+ public highschools. If you dont do great on the SAT you wont get in. But if you do, you will be fine. Just remember 27400+ Public schools so you still have privates to compete with to.
