I thought my college only gave out As. There have been courses where I have gotten over 100 and still received an A. This semester, I will be taking writer’s composition 1. This course does give out an A+ for grades over 97. Does grad school know which courses offer grades above an A? I am worried that grad school will think that I received less than a 97 in all of the courses of my major because they don’t give out A+s. This concern probably sounds ridiculous, but none-the-less, I don’t want grad school to think that I performed worse in courses I performed very well in.
My daughter’s college also has only some courses that give A+s. However, A+s only count as a 4.0, just like an A.
Honestly I don’t think it will make a difference at all to grad schools.
When law schools recalculate GPA of applicants, A+ has a higher value than A. (This is not true for medical schools.)
At some point the grade game stops and then what will propel you? Yes schools know.
