<p>I understand that A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1 and E=0, but what is an A- or B+ in calculating GPA, assuming an A- is in between 90-93.</p>
<p>It depends on your school, some schools do 90-100 = 4.0 80-89 = 3.0 and so on, while other schools have A+ as 4.0, A as 3.8, A- as 3.6, B+ as 3.4 and so on, Ask your guidance counselor!</p>
<p>This is one of the reasons why a student with a 4.00 does not necessarily mean they are inferior to a student with a 3.0 at another school!</p>
<p>Hope this helped</p>
<p>^ Thanks for the help. I understand that colleges vary in their calculation of GPA, but I was wondering what colleges tend to use in their calculation of “unweighted GPA.”</p>
<p>Usually colleges dont calculate your GPA themselves. </p>
<p>Your high school will send them a “school report” complement to your application which tells the university how GPA was calculated and some other essential information that would allow you to compete fairly with other students.</p>
<p>If you want a somewhat solid answer to your question, most high schools (in my experience) tend to calculate their GPA based on the 90-100 = 4.0 system, so many people on this website tend to familiarize themselves with this as well. However, if your school calculates your GPA differently, theres no point in converting your grades to fit that “system.”</p>
<p>Hope this helped (again)! haha</p>
