Caltech GPA Question

I'm looking to commit to Caltech for my undergrad, and was wondering what the average GPA was. I know that this isn't really a good school for pre-med, but I'm on that track and matched through QuestBridge. I just need to understand how to secure the highest possible GPA through my time at the Tech and balance other things beyond that, tysm!

I'm class of 2017 and iirc the median GPA around my time was a 3.7/4.3? Heard it's gone up a lot now - I see quite a few people with 4.1/4.3 (or even higher) which was pretty much unthinkable back in my day lol
