A- vs A

<p>How much do you think selective colleges view + and -. Other than calculating a GPA do you think they scutinize over the difference between an A or A-, or do they for the most part just consider it an A.</p>

<p>an A is an A get over it</p>

<p>OMG!!! My parents also stresses me about the difference between an A and A-, and how a 3.9 is so different from a 4.0, even though I constantly tell them its no difference. They also tell me how I'll be stuck at a state university. Geez. But anyways it makes no difference. Like kcirsch said "an A is and A..."</p>

<p>Thank god my school transcript just has like 'A' or 'B' and no + or - signs. :)</p>

<p>reallly???? cuz i got a bunch of A-s.... so does that mean colleges will look at it like i got all As?</p>

<p>Honestly, people, please. I am pretty sure that if other parts of your application are up to par and you are challenging yourself, an a- here or even, oh no god forbid, a b+ there is not going to hurt you tremendously.</p>

<p>I am not worrying over an A- like omg i have all A's and one A-. Im just wondering how colleges view them. Here's an extreme example. Do you think a selective college would view a person with all A- very differently from someone with all A's</p>

<p>Oh no... how that would be the end of the world (rolls eyes)</p>

<p>Our grades are numerical grades...so they see exactly where you're at.</p>

<p>oh man, im 1/2 a percentage point away from an a- in 2 of my classes. oh well. that stinks.</p>

<p>Any one have any opinions on my first question</p>

<p>i really doubt they care. that is a small difference. its kind of like when people get worried with a 2330 vs. a 2400. they are both phenomenal scores either way its not a big deal. so youll be fine, i would still reccomened going for a's and not a-'s if you can. dont worry.</p>
