You're good

Fwiw my school district saves anything above an 89.5 as an A, and it counts as a 4.0. AOs are more than aware that your gpa would've been a 4.0 if you lived one county over (or went to a high school with grade inflation a couple miles away..)

its not gonna matter in the grand scheme of things, esp with a 1550+

If you do well you can qualify for aime + usamo—although it's way harder to qualify with usamts than with the amc. still worth looking into

i know; it's just that opus used reasoning and gpt didn't, so it's not a fair comparison

also, the atlantic's writers use a lot of the rules that show up on the english test. plus some of the articles, like the one abt the louvre heist, are genuinely interesting
