GPA Confusion

HopefulLAw

Hello, I'm seeing posts on here stating that GPA's like a 3.5, 3.7, 3.67, etc. aren't high enough for law schools to be impressed and I'm genuinely shocked by that and confused as to why. There's no way that everyone in law school got out of undergrad with a 4.0 so how are GPA's in the higher 3's not considered good? It's a little intimidating and disheartening finding out you can try your best in undergrad but if you don't make it out with that 4.0 your chances of admittance are reduced. I thought the 3's would at least be somewhat of a happy medium.
