<p>Yeah... we count + and -'s. 3.99 GPA is one A-.</p>
<p>Leah377: [....Yeah--I've been wondering the same thing recently. My unweighted GPA is a 3.9 (two Bs in high school so far--I'll be a senior) and weighted is a 4.7. Still, my school's very competitive so my rank is only about 50/524. I have a great transcript with difficult courses, but I feel like my class rank is going to hurt me....]</p>
<p>If the class rank is low with such high GPA, will the Adcoms think there is heavy grade inflation? How will they know that the courses are difficult and the competition is high? I think the high schools need to follow some kind of national, uniform standard for awarding grades.</p>
<p>Is your rank weighted?</p>
