<p>I am a sophomore, and I'm struggling in Precalc and Chemistry this year - 92 and 91, respectively. Last year was all A+.</p>
<p>My UW GPA is still a 4.0. Do colleges even care about individual class grades? The most selective colleges I can realistically hope to.afford are W&M and Rochester ; regardless of where I go, however, I will need lots of fin aid. Will this hurt my chances? </p>
<p>(By the way, sorry if I sound like I'm overreacting, I don't mean to)</p>
<p>Jeez, not another one of these threads!</p>
<p>A minuses? Better get real familiar with the phrase “Would you like fries with that?” </p>
<p>Oh settle down, child. Everything is fine.</p>
<p>Having a transcript full of Cs, Bs, and As, it’s just so funny coming on CC sometimes, lol</p>
<p>If they count the same it shouldn’t matter. But at my school an A is 94-100, so getting a 93 would hurt your GPA if you were trying to have something near a 4.0. So you’re lucky if your school considers 91 an A.
I don’t see the point of all the plus/minus stuff…can they really know your grade with that level of certainty anyway? An A is an A.</p>
<p>all these threads are the bloody same</p>
<p>I don’t visit CC for a bloody year… and some things never change. Heck it’s worse.</p>
<p>Short Answer: You’re fine. Most colleges don’t use the +/- system anyways.</p>
<p>Is it seriously true that colleges will see a 91 and think “A”?</p>
<p>Thanks for the answers everyone!! Again, sorry if I’m overreacting.</p>
<p>My understanding has always been that the cutoff point between A and A- was at 96.</p>
<p>Only on CC do people worry about having an A-</p>
<p>^in most schools, the actual percent grade in the class doesn’t show. On mine it only has the letter grade. (No minuses or pluses)</p>
<p>“most schools”?</p>
<p>Cutoff points for As and A-s varies for each school. I’m not sure how other districts and do their transcripts, but the numeric grade may or may not be on there. Ask your counselor about it.</p>
<p>oh dear, stop worrying. don’t be like me when I was a sophomore. do well, but don’t get stressed out over little things</p>
<p>Psh. At my old school district, an 89 to 92 is a B+. Thank god my transcript shows percentages not letter grades. The only thing my old school has ever done right, lol.</p>
<p>ugh stop worrying please an A- is a good grade and you literally have a 4.0UW GPA so I’m not really sure what your worries are…
Congrats btw, but please stop making pointless worry threads</p>
