<p>first i want to say i cannot believe i'm posting about this but this has suddenly occurred to me.
Because there are some schools who calculate gpas to 1-100...i was wondering when colleges recalculate your gpa would they give less pts for a a- than for an a...such a lame question...but just wondering =(</p>
<p>i don't think you have anything to worry about. they would still require your high school transcript, which is the GPA as seen by your school. they'll still want to see that.</p>
<p>No, I've been told that colleges don't care much about +/-. I was told outright by the Stanford admissions office that they recalculate GPAs on a straight 4.0 scale, disregarding all +/-s and using only core courses (History, Math, English, Foreign Language, Science)</p>
