This is just a random question, but how does one earn a 3.98 in one semester? Like do you get 14 As and 1 A-, in one semester? If that's the case I would be thoroughly impressed.

He might've done like 18-16 credits his last semester and probably got A- in a smaller credit class

yeah I took 18 hours, and got all A's and one A-. Thanks for the help Faha, I will definitely add these schools to my list. I will most likely only be applying to around 15 of the total. Any other tips will be greatly appreciated.
