<p>at my school, if you get an A+ it counts as 4.3 instead of jus 4. </p>
<p>so essentially you can get some B's but make it up with some A+ and still get a 4.0. Would colleges view this the same as if i got all A's?</p>
<p>Nope. I have a 4.0, which at my school is equal to all A's, but its because i had 2 B+'s and 2 A+'s, which evens out. They'll see your grades I assume, so no they wont.</p>
<p>Of course it's the same.</p>
<p>GPa wise it is, but colleges dont see it that way.</p>
<p>I beg to differ.</p>
<p>If u dont have all A's, then they're not going to see it as all A's. Its pretty simple.</p>
<p>colleges see 4.0 and are satisfied. if you have some b's and some a+s, coming to 4.0, that is as good to colleges as all a's.</p>
<p>fine, if u say so, im actually not in an arguing mood. i guess thats good for me, but it still doesnt look as good compared to the peeps with 4.3 gpa's. o well</p>
<p>no it doesnt like as good as the 4.3s, but it looks as good as the 4.0s that are As, no A+s</p>
<p>no its not, every college recalculates gpa their own way, and most of the time they take off the + and -</p>
<p>ok, w/e but its not like the difference will prevent you from getting into college anyway</p>
<p>It depends on an individual college how an A+ is viewed and whether the GPA is calculated weighted (A+ = 4.3) or unweighted (A+ = 4.0). Most colleges will use 4.0 points, not 4.3 points. </p>
<p>The only way to increase the GPA is via AP courses, where an A-, A or A+ = 5 points instead of the normal 4 points...</p>
<p>Or according to NC rules, as high as 6 points on the GPA...
And yes, the only way to raise the GPA is by taking all APs for credit, taking as few non-APs as possible and then taking those non-APs pass-fail.</p>
