<p>I realized that basically all my grades in high school are A-'s, but it's still a 4.0. Does this look really bad and make me look like a slacker?</p>
<p>As long as your transcript just has letter grades, not percentages, no one will even know</p>
<p>If it is all A- isn’t that a 3.7 GPA unweighted?</p>
<p>Not necessarily. My school, for instance, only uses A vs B vs C etc not A- vs A+ etc.</p>
<p>Not at all, you don’t NEED a 4.0. I got in with a 3.8 UW. Last time I checked As were still good, whether they have a + or a - after them.</p>
