but how many admits who are NOT football recruits have been admitted with a "paltry" 3.65 gpa like Christian McCaffrey?

Not that I remember but my HS GPA was probably right around there. Do admits really have a >4 GPA on a 4.0 scale, meaning they average between an A and A+? That seems absurd.

I did (c/o '16), but that was weighted...all our AP classes were graded on a 5.0 scale, and I took 8. Our valedictorian (who was accepted to Stanford but went to Yale) had a 4.4. Stanford has its own way of weighting your GPA based on the level of class, but I don't know what it is.
