<p>How do colleges recalculate GPA for the transcripts? I know they usually do it out of 4, but do they generally drop the + and -s and do A=4, B =3 C=2 D = 1, or do they usually count the + and - as in A = 4 A- = 3.66 B+ = 3.33??
becoz i have so many B+s which sucks because if it is the first way my GPA would be 3.6 , if it's the second way my GPA will be 3.75</p>
<p>anyone know the general practice please reply</p>
<p>They generally drop the "+" and "-"; which universities actually count them?</p>
<p>Wow I didn't know they dropped them. My GPA was riding on those B+'s too bring it up.</p>
<p>anyone else knows? do they just look at the transcript or recalculate GPA anyway?? do they drop + or -? do they weigh ur GPA according to their system or do they just look at an recalculated unweighted GPA and look at the context of the school?</p>
<p>Colleges calculate unwighted GPA using main or core academic courses (no points for phys ed, for example). They drop + and - after the grade.
Thus, A- A A+ are all 4.0
B's are 3.0
C' are 2.0
etc.
(Thus an all A student will have 4.0)</p>
<p>can someone explain to me how to calculate my uc gpa?</p>
<p>^ It's on the UC website.</p>
