<p>My school gives an A a 4.0, B+ = 3.7, B = 3.4, and B- = 3.0
Is this standard for the 4.0 scale? or is a B usually a 3.0 flat?
I have a 3.9 right now and would a college like NYU recalculate my GPA on a 3.0 = any B scale? This would drastically affect my GPA. Thx for future input!</p>
<p>I don't think UC GPA differentiates between B+ or B-...but I could be wrong.</p>
<p>so whats an A- worth at your school?</p>
<p>Most schools do recalculate your GPA using a 4.0 scale. An A is 4, B is 3, C is 2.0...most do not use the minus or plus but will give extra consideration for honors and AP classes.</p>
<p>damn, b/c the 4 B's i had were B+'s, which are a 3.7, not a 3.0 on my school's scale. This is not good, my GPA is going to plummet.</p>
<p>and do most highschools not consider pluses or minuses?</p>
<p>Is the average highschool GPA, as listed on the princeton review.com, calculated using a scale not considering pluses or minuses?</p>
<p>ahhhhhhhh please help me</p>
<p>bumpppppppppp</p>
<p>Most colleges will unweight your GPA, and yes, lose the pluses and minuses.</p>
<p>A normal unweighter GPA looks somethin like this:
A: 4.0
A-: 3.7
B+: 3.4
B: 3.0
B-: 2.7
C+: 2.4
C: 2.0</p>
<p>thx, does anyone know if NYU recalculates grades, and if so, to what scale?</p>
<p>NO...NYUs average GPA is 3.6 on a 4.0 scale.</p>
<p>And I also agree with Collegegrl that that is how schools determine your unweighted GPA. Thats how my high schools does it atleast. I don't think NYU will really go through all the trouble trying to recaluclate your GPA. They look at whatever they get in context to how your schools does grades.</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
<p>thx everyone for the input i really appreciate the time you've all taken to respond.</p>
<p>It's just im going nuts because as of now i have like a 3.9 UW and if i calculate my grade using collegegirl's rubric, i have a 3.7 UW, which is a big difference. So, i guess ill just hope for the best :)</p>
<p>bumppppppppppppppp anyone else?</p>
<p>what would an A- be? a 90-92?
would that mean that any grade above a 93 is an A = 4.0?</p>
<p>yeah...90-92 is A-, 93+ is A</p>
<p>wow that makes my UW GPA a 4.0 for sophmore and junior years, and my total UW is 3.95, that seems high for being 38th in a class of 449.</p>
