Do colleges look at your actual average?

Applying to College

<p>When colleges view your transcript, will they see your actual average that is on the 100 point scale? I'm concerned because I have been slacking this semester and have been maintaining a 96 average in classes in which I know I can make 98+ if I sincerely tried. Do colleges look at this, or will they only see the letter grade / GPA on the 4.0 scale?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I can't believe you're complaining about a 96. Seriously, just stop. You really don't have to show off.</p>

<p>Hehe... didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to know if the actual score mattered, because I'm usually studying for AP classes and sleeping through all of my honors classes..... if the grade made a difference I would try to stay awake ;)</p>

<p>I think they look at a 4.0 scale, because a lot of schools don't count points out of 100.</p>

<p>96 vs. 98 isn't that big of a difference. It'd be one thing if you were borderline between two grades (say, 89 vs. 91), but you're not, so I'd say you're okay.</p>

<p>even 89 and 91 is not a big difference if they are going to see the actual percentages</p>
