<p>I am in CAS, but I took a Peabody class and received an A+ (I got a 96% in a GPA booster class; perhaps the professor gave me a couple extra points?).</p>
<p>It looks like A+s and A's both count as GPA 4.0, but from what I understand, LSAC counts an A+ as a 4.33 (I am going to law school later on).</p>
<p>I've gotten a grade of 99% in a CAS psychology class, but I've only received an A. Is Peabody the only college that gives out A+s? Does it depend on the professor? Can I change my past A's into A+s if I've gotten 98-100% in those classes?</p>
<p>I'm sort of confused about this whole thing. Sorry to sound greedy, but as a future law school applicant, I'm pretty mercenary when it comes to grades.</p>
<p>My son had a few A+ on his semester grade reports, but they had no impact on gpa. He said they were considered to be decorations on the grade reports, just acknowledgement that performance was above the regular A. I don’t know if they show up on the final transcript, but even if they do, they do not impact gpa.</p>
<p>(These were courses in Engineering. Most of them, at least. Probably all of them.)</p>
<p>The Vanderbilt course catalog contains the grading policies, and A+ is not listed … meaning no additional weight is given to an A+ compared with an A.</p>
<p>It seems to me like it’s possible to get an A+ in Peabody. I don’t know if it’s just that professor, or the entire college. </p>
<p>I’m not sure about how it is in CAS, because I’ve only gotten an A for a course in which I had a 99%.</p>
<p>But I think this is worth mentioning for those of you who are going to law school. LSAC will look at your transcripts and recalculate your GPA (Thus, all A minuses will count as 3.66 instead of, say, 3.7. All B+s will be 3.33 instead of 3.30). </p>
<p>LSAC will count any A+ as a 4.33, even if Vanderbilt only gives out 4.0’s. That means if you have an A, an A-, and an A+, your LSAC GPA (the one that law schools look at) will still be 4.0.</p>
