<p>Not for UC Berkeley, but for law and med school admissions, yes.</p>

4

<p>^
lol really?</p>

5

<p>med and law schools will, not the Berkeley undergrad though.</p>

<p>I wish my A+ in Classics 10B and IB 24 would be bumped up to 4.3s</p>

6

<p>wait how to the med schools get to know?</p>

7

<p>your transcript will say A+
the gpa calculation will say 4.0 though</p>

8

<p>wow i didnt know this
so med schools really care about that?
this suckkss</p>

9

<p>what about graduate schools in general? do they count an A+ as a 4.3 in their calculations or just see an “A+” on your transcript?</p>

<p>I don’t really think med schools will calculate A+ as 4.3 officially like the law schools do. Of course they will see the + but I have never heard that they weigh it into GPA.</p>

<p>Honestly, wouldn’t you say that Med schools, or admissions officers in general, just glance at your transcript? They not gunna sit there and recalculate your GPA when you have 3 A+'s. And of course they won’t neglect it.</p>

<p>They don’t recalculate it, the LSDAS/the med school equivalent does. It’s a computer compiling all your info.</p>
