That’s irrelevant to 99.99% of people. An A in math is not especially difficult to achieve. To actually be meaningfully better at math you need to go far, far further than the coursework presented in schools, at which point it becomes an extra curricular which is already considered. If you’re a math savant proving novel theorems, they will notice that. But nobody gives a shit if you’re just really, really good at factoring polynomials from Algebra 2 tests.
