<p>Do colleges look at the pluses and minuses on your transcript? Or do they just look at GPA.</p>
<p>I just got an A- in English Honors, but I'm pretty sure there's an error. However, I dont want to talk to my teacher about it beacause its already 2 weeks after the semester and also, I dont want to seem like a grade-obsessed person (I'm really not). I just want to make sure its right.</p>
<p>Who cares what you SEEM like? If it means improving your grades, especially when you deserve the higher grade, why in God's name wouldn't you change it?</p>
<p>It will matter in the sense that it will affect your GPA and therefore your rank as well. If you think that you really do deserve a higher grade, by all means talk to the teacher. Do it with maturity and you won't seem like a grade-grubber.</p>
<p>Ok, for all of us who do have minuses on our application. Do they matter?</p>
<p>I think they do to a limited extent. Like the difference between a B+ and a B- is pretty significant. But A+ or A- wouldn't have that great an impact.</p>
<p>What's more important, rank or GPA?</p>
<p>rank. you could have a 4.0, but then so could every other student in your school. That's not saying much.</p>
<p>-/+ doesnt chance GPA at my school. We don't rank either.</p>
<p>"rank. you could have a 4.0, but then so could every other student in your school. That's not saying much."</p>
<p>It's still saying a lot because it means you did the best you could possibly do.</p>
