4.0 is the highest and yes 3.90 is a great GPA for college

Answer 2

GPA is only one factor that college consider for admission.  Think about this...what is everyone at your high school had a 3.9 or 4.0 GPA?  Colleges would think that your high school has a severe case of grade inflation, which is a huge negative.  Colleges will also look at grade distribution at your high school called class rank.  SAT/ACT scores, recommendations, essays, interview, extracurricular and volunteering all are considerations of admission.

I am a school counselor and have worked with hundreds of students and parents.  The same questions about how to find the right college or plan for college keep coming up or how to find a career.  I decided to set up some online classes (self paced) to answer many of your questions and activities to help in the process.  My site is located at globalscholar.com and type in my name "Kerrie."
