<p>At my school A-, A+ and A's are all worth 4 points but I heard that +/-'s counts for AMCAS? This is my first semester and I already got 2 A-'s with no A+'s.</p>

<p>yea A- is like a 3.7 on the AMCAS</p>

<p>As are 4.0 and I don’t think A+s are recognized, they’re counted as As. A-s are like 3.7.</p>

<p>At least that’s how I think it’s done.</p>

<p>A+ = 4.0
a = 4.0
a - = 3.7</p>

<p>???Something freaky is happening with my capital letters.</p>

<p>Also, be happy with your current grades. Having nothing below an A- is awesome. I’ve seen too many freshmen wailing over B’s.</p>

<p>dude you need to chill out. The average GPA for an accepted applicant to allopathic med schools is in the 3.6 range. Your GPA is in the mid 3.8’s…you’re fine.</p>
