How does UMich calculate COLLEGE/undergrad GPA (nothing to do with High School)

<p>Hello all, </p>

<p>It seems that talking about GPA in college is a taboo subject (no one on campus is very helpful about this), so I was wondering if any current students can divulge some info on undergrad GPA. </p>

<p>Does UMich differentiate between an A and an A-? I can't seem to find anything about it on the Ann Arbor site, but Dearborn and Flint say that A+/A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, etc. Can anyone confirm this?</p>

<p>I already know that they weigh your grades based on credit hours, but I didn't know that they differentiated between the (+)s and (-)s. This is gonna make it harder to do "well" in college, I guess.</p>

<p>On the other hand, I got my hands on the Engineering Dean's List (<a href="http://www.engin.umich.edu/students/deanslist/W09coedeanslist.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.engin.umich.edu/students/deanslist/W09coedeanslist.pdf&lt;/a&gt;), and it seems incredibly long. About what percentage of engineers at Michigan are on this list?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>A+ (ross only) 4.3
A+/A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
and so on.</p>

3

<p>A+ (4.4 for Ross)
A+ A = 4
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.4 (for Ross)
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0</p>

4

<p>so it is a 4.4.</p>
