Here’s the issue with Big3 GPAs even 3.8+ … they don’t seem high when you have public school kids getting up to 4.5 — in fact, they seem low especially at the larger state magnets (Berkeley / UCLA / Michigan / UVA / Texas) where it’s impossible not be just a number. The Big3s will tell you that all the admissions teams at the colleges know how rigorous they are and what their grade ranges are but guess what: they really don’t — it’s impossible when reviewing hundreds or thousands of apps that ultimately start looking the same to keep that in mind even if you heard it once or twice in passing.
Parents of Big3 kids need to internalize this, keep it in mind, and move on …
