<p>For some ******* odd reason, my school has a policy of not allowing teachers to give A+. How much do selective colleges care about the difference between A-, A, and A+? </p>
<p>If helps, my school use the letter grading system completely; no percentage final grade is assigned. Usually 90-93% is A-, and 94% and above is A. It's up to the teacher.</p>
<p>Some colleges care about the difference between an A- and an A, though it’s not a big deal. Most schools will disregard A+s and view them as As.</p>
<p>A lot of schools don’t even give A-
= LAUSD</p>
<p>My school treats everything in the range of an A as an A, no +s or -s. So a 93.5% is the same as a 100% on transcripts and GPA.</p>
<p>yeah my school too… just A- 'es and A’s. it used to bug me before, but now i just dont care.</p>
<p>I honestly don’t get the hype over A-'s versus regular A’s versus A+'s. TCBH is correct; many schools don’t use +/- at all. At least, that’s going to be the case for my senior year high school. A 90 or above in any class there will get you a solid A. There was a post I read from a thread from a few years back, where the mother of a prospective applicant to Stanford called the admissions office and asked for their policies on recalculating GPA. They told her directly that all A’s, regardless of pluses or minuses, were counted as 4.0’s. So as long as the majority of your A’s aren’t A-minuses, I wouldn’t worry too much.</p>
<p>an A is an A… -.-</p>
