<p>If both carry the same weight, does it matter which one you get?</p>
<p>Only reason I'm asking is because I've been hearing different things about this on CC.</p>
<p>Pretty sure one is a 3.7 and the other is a 4…</p>
<p>They don’t carry the same weight. an A+/A is a 4.0 usually, a A- is a 3.7</p>
<p>Colleges generally use unweighted scales that they convert to.
But I may be wrong every college does something different</p>
<p>There is a difference between an A and an A- in the eyes of colleges so try to shoot for all As.</p>
<p>It looks like many colleges will count the A- as a 3.7, according to this conversion chart:</p>
<p>[How</a> to Convert Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>How to Convert (Calculate) Your GPA to a 4.0 Scale – BigFuture)</p>
<p>However, the UC’s count any type of A as a 4.0 in calculating their applicants’ UC GPA.</p>
<p>I’ll admit that this is confusing, as the public schools in our CA district use the UC methodology and count any type of A as 4.0 and indicate it as such right on the transcript.</p>
<p>Yea that’s what they do in my school^… Damn i thought i could fly by with A-s lol</p>
<p>Different colleges do different things. My brother’s university counts any A as a 4.0, any B as a 3.0, etc. So it really depends on the college whether or not A vs A- makes a difference. And wouldn’t an A just be a 3.7, and a A+ would be a 4.0 on that scale?</p>
<p>Well i think most schools (or at least in my area) have abolished the A+</p>
