<p>Hey everyone</p>
<p>My school uses a + - system so basically</p>
<p>an a is worth 4 ( 95-100)
a- 3.67 (91-94)
b+ - 3.33 ( 88-19)</p>
<p>and so forth </p>
<p>well most schools dont use this system.... and I was wondering if usc keeps the + and - on .. or if they take them off like the UCs</p>
<p>Thanks so much</p>
<p>USC keeps it.</p>

<p>Do they? I always thought otherwise. In any case, didn't matter for me because my HS did not give out pluses or minuses.</p>
<p>Maybe I misunderstood the question. From calculating my own GPA from OASIS grades, I figured out that an A- is worth 3.7, a B+ is worth 3.3, and so on.</p>
<p>At my HS, an A+, A, and A- are all worth 4.0.</p>
<p>At my HS, an A+, A, and A- are all worth 4.0</p>
<p>Oh man... I wish my school was like that</p>
<p>anyone know for sure?</p>
<p>OH! Are you guys talking about HS grades sent to USC? In that case, USC should not count +'s and -'s.</p>
<p>ahhahah yes... i should have been more clear</p>
<p>That would be great if they wouldnt</p>
<p>my school uses number grades and not letters to calculate my gpa. Will USC change my number grades to there respective letter grade and recalculate my gpa</p>

<p>Yes, they will.</p>
<p>thanks sfgiants, your like my unofficial tour guide to the usc admissions process</p>
<p>wait...</p>
<p>so yes or no to the + - thing... cuz it actually makes a difference in my gpa</p>
<p>No problem AJlax, glad I could help.</p>
<p>Chillin: The consensus (all of two people) seems to be that they won't count the pluses and minuses, but if you are particularly curious you can call and ask.</p>
<p>haha </p>
<p>Ok sfgiants..</p>
<p>Thanks..</p>
<p>My school gives out + and -s. Still, it considers them like without the signs when calculating gpa. Will SC still use its "formula?" ie a- = 3.67 instead of 4.0, etc?</p>
