Grades in Rutgers

<p>So I wanted to know... I noticed that Rutger's GPA system doesn't have a A+, and neither does it have any of the A-, B-, C- etc etc etc. Is this nec. a bad thing? Can anyone explain to me further about the pros and cons about their (Rutgers) grading system?</p>

<p>it could make your gpa really high or really low</p>

<p>That was the most ambiguous statement I’ve ever heard, haha.</p>

<p>Well one pro I see is that if you get a 90 in the class as a whole, you’re still getting an A. All 90s = all As = 4.0 GPA</p>

<p>…but…I have found it difficult to achieve all As in my class. Heads up for anyone: don’t assume a class like introduction to communication or something along the lines of that will guarantee you an easy A. You’ll be surprise to find yourself struggling to get past that C+ that you have so far in the class =( personal experience.</p>

<p>As a student who always happens to get a B+ (89%), it ****es me off to no end that if i had gotten 1 point higher, my GPA would be a massive 0.5 higher.</p>

<p>im going to graduate rutgers with a 4.0</p>

<p>Good luck AMGleague. I mean, it is possible, but I’m sure you’ll come across a teacher or two that will make it hard for you to receive an A in the class.</p>

<p>wait Rutgers doesnt have minuses???</p>

<p>No minuses, just A, B+, B, C+, etc.</p>

<p>A = 4.0
B+ = 3.5
B = 3.0
C+ = 2.5
C = 2.0
… etc</p>

<p>That’s pretty handy.</p>

<p>You guys are actually pretty lucky considering my school is: </p>

<p>A (90-100)
B (80-89)
C (70-79)
D (60-69
F (Below 60)</p>

<p>It’s not too bad, it just sucks if you have like an 88 in a class and it’s still counted as a B just like the person who got an 80 :/</p>

<p>Um, no… There is a B and a B+.</p>
