A+, A-, B+, B-, C+ etc...

Applying to College
1

do colleges look at pluses and minuses?

2

<p>I assume so, they use your GPA mostly I think and the +'s and -'s are factored into that.</p>

3

<p>If your school uses them, yes indeed they do.</p>

4

<p>so lets assume a = 4 b = 3 so hmm a- = 3.75? b+ = 3.25?</p>

5

<p>a- = 3.667
b+ = 3.333</p>

6

<p>a+ = 4.33333? a+ on ap = 5.3333? -_-</p>

7

<p>most schools A+ is just a 4.0</p>

8

<p>It depends on the school... Generally speaking for admissions they don't look at that, however many universities will include that in your transcripts.</p>

9

<p>Minuses and pluses aren't factored into your GPA, so I guess a school would only be interested in it if they go with actual grades rather than just GPA.</p>

10

<p>Minuses and pluses <em>are</em> factored into your GPA, at least everywhere I've been.</p>

<p>A+, A=4.0
A- =3.7
B+=3.3
B=3.0
B-=2.7, etc.</p>

11

<p>huh? i never heard of anything like that its always been...
A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1 F=0
doesnt matter if its + or -</p>

12

<p>at my high school, A+ is a 4.0. A- is a 4.0. i don't know how colleges do it.</p>

<p>that's exactly how my school does it, and I'm pretty sure it's the most common and what a lot of colleges that calculate your GPA themselves, like the UC schools, use. On most transcripts, letter grades with + and - are shown, but overall GPA is much more important.</p>

14

<p>colleges and highschool do it the same just like molly was saying
A+/A/A- =4
B+/B/B-=3
....</p>

15

<p>My school is different than that, (I don't have this memorized just the catalog was right next to me) A+ 4.4, A 4, A- 3.7, B+ 3.4, B 3, B- 2.7, C+ 2.4, C 2, C- 1.7, D+ 1.4, D 1, F 0</p>

<p>Sorry, that's not true
Not all highschools calculate GPA the way yours does
And collegs definitely don't</p>

<p>Besides, top colleges recalculate your GPA so that everyone is on the same scale</p>

17

<p>My high school doesn't even have pluses or minuses. A 98% ends up looking the same as an 89.6% on a report card: it's an A and counts for 4 (unweighted).</p>

18

<p>My high schools's system works the same way as hurdlesrock's and molly's. A's are 4.0 no matter if they have a plus or minus.</p>

19

<p>89.6% is an A at your school, yanners?</p>

20

<p>omgosh that is s not fair. my school doesn't use the +'s and i definitely made a 89 B last year...omgosh im going to kill them.</p>
