Does percentage matter?

<p>Does anyone care what particular percentage one gets in a certain class, or is the analysis of one's grade limited to the letter on one's transcript? I was just curious.</p>

<p>Are you asking in terms of the student’s perspective or the admissions officer’s perspective? For me, the percentage does not matter, just the grade letter. For admissions officers, it may be different.</p>

<p>Also, different schools have different systems. My school’s grading system has no + or -, just a solid letter grade. A 90 is as good as a 99. Other schools use + and - and those affect GPA, so then the percentage would matter.</p>

<p>If the percentage shows on the transcript, then colleges would probably care.</p>
