<p>I know that Stanford uses your unweighted high school GPA for admissions, and I was wondering whether there is a difference between an A and an A- in a class. Any thoughts?</p>

2

<p>yes. a is 4.0, a- is 3.7.</p>

<p>Speaking of unweighted GPAs, does anyone know how they would calculate GPA for a full IB diploma candidate, taking only IB courses, whose school doesn't give GPA? (me, in case you're wondering)</p>

4

<p>Oh no! I didn't know there was a difference!</p>

5

<p>nononononoooo.. wait... I thought that stanford recalculates your GPA, disregarding freshman year....?! Is there a difference between an A and an A+?</p>

6

<p>Pretty sure it goes A=4 B=3, etc. disregarding -'s and +'s</p>

7

<p>For your high school GPA A=A-=A+=4.0</p>

<p>Once you are at Stanford, for your Stanford GPA A=4.0, A-=3.7, A+=4.3</p>

<p>hm. that makes more sense!!</p>
