<p>Hey guys! I am confused regarding how to earn a 4.0. Do you have to receive all A+s in your college courses or just A's? (At my college, an A is 93-96 and A+ is 97-100) Thank you for your help on such a silly question!</p>
<p>Generally speaking, A and A+ are both worth 4.0 points. But a 4.0 overall is usually an unrealistic goal in college.</p>
<p>A are always 4 unless your college uses another system. To get the best answer ask someone at your college.</p>
<p>No graduate school, prospective employer, or professional school is going to really see a difference between a 4.0 and 3.9. A and up is generally 4.0 for a class, but I don’t think this needs to be your highest priority.</p>
<p>At my university, the standard for a 4.0 is a 98 or higher, but sometimes it varies. (some profs go 95 and up, and some even just have 100 for a 4.0)</p>
<p>Here, a 3.6 and up is a 90 and up, so an “A.” When you study abroad and they report back that you got an “A,” they give you a 4.0; if they report back a “94,” they give you a 3.8.</p>
<p>Some colleges probably have more grade inflation than mine, but that’s the bitter reality that I face every day.</p>
<p>90 and up is a 4.0 at my school. For the most part, professors here don’t use A+/A-. They might indicate your grade as such on exams or whatever, but the grade that goes on the transcript is just an A, B etc.</p>
