I know it's a stupid question, but I have reasons to ask this. I have a 4.0 in Electrical Engineering (103 hours so far) and it really doesn't seem to matter to anyone.
For instance, my friend and I both applied for this Co-Op and he got called back. I'm happy for him, but the thing is....his resume wasn't well put together, his gpa is significantly lower, has less awards, and we have the same work experience. I'm also a member of IEEE and National Society of Black Engineers (this had me wondering...).
I also applied for a General Academic Scholarship and wasn't awarded it this year for some reason. I was awarded one last year, so I figured that it'd be renewed this year (I updated the essay that I wrote for last year so I don't know what could have deterred it).
So yeah, does a 4.0 turn off some people? I'm sure that it'll be good when I'm applying for Graduate school, but right now it doesn't seem to matter to anyone.
