I wish my high school had the other grading system.

<p>Most high schools (and colleges) do this:
90-100 A
80-89 B
70-79 C
60-69 D
Below 60 F</p>

<p>But my school had the "tough grading system"
93-100 A (No A+s!!!!)
85-92 B
75-84 C
70-74 D
Below 70 F</p>

<p>But we still do 3.0 = B, 2.0 = C, etc. Meaning that if I get all 92s then my GPA at this school would be lower than GPAs at most schools. And the lack of A+s makes me angry.</p>

<p>My school too. U are not alone. Nil desperandum- do not despair…</p>

<p>They don’t care about your GPA. They care about your transcript. If your school uses a different grading system than most others, then they know that and will factor it into their admissions decisions.</p>

<p>ADDITIONALLY, it’s not like every school uses some universal grading rubric and some schools just have different cut offs. A work tends to be A work, and if you get a 92 at your school, who’s to say it wouldn’t get an 88 or an 89 at another school?</p>

<p>Sometimes the grading system may be adjusted due to the rigor of your school.</p>

<p>That is true… though, I think wecan all agree that the strange system does confuzzle things… ;)</p>
