I don't think houses are looking for a perfect GPA. they simply are looking for smart girls. But to get into a top house you also have to be well-rounded. If you have excellent grades and a 30+ ACT, that's an excellent start. But you also have to excel in other areas, like being the editor of your high school newspaper or being an athlete or a pianist or something else that shows some real accomplishment. The thing is, you could look perfect on paper but if you can't hold a conversation or if you come across as aloof or smug or goofy or just odd, well, the best grades in the world won't help you. If you are a super smart girl but socially awkward, i would work on that over the summer. Get a job where you have to talk to strangers, for example, or spend time observing people with great social skills. See how they do it.
