<p>Anyone know if ND converts A-'s to 3.7's?</p>
<p>I don't know about A-'s in high school but if it is in a class at ND the A- is worth 3.66. They will probably just use whatever GPA and rank is on your transcript, though, no worries. I doubt they have time or the will to go and retabulate everything!</p>
<p>I meant to ask specifically whether ND would converted my HS A-'s to 3.7's when reviewing my application for admission. But that's interesting that an A- is a 3.7 in the actual ND classrooms. Irish68178, are you a student at ND?</p>
<p>Yes, I am a junior at Notre Dame.</p>
<p>most schools do recalculate GPA (they take out nonacademic classes and convert to 4.0 system)</p>
<p>Does a computer applications class count as an academic course? I got an A- in it frosh year.. stupid, I know :-)</p>
<p>academic classes are only math, science, social studies, english and foreign language</p>
<p>actually bob_rsinger86, not to be rude but you were wrong by rounding. ND gives an A- a value of 3.667 on classes you take here, and your GPA is carried to 3 decimal places, it is not rounded off, period. Your official transcript for classes taken here shows it to 3 decimal points.</p>
<p>I think he knows Nemo, it is just easier to type 3.14 instead of all of pi sometimes. It is just like I typed 3.66, not because I don't know it is officially 3.667 but just because I knew I could get the point across with less as the rest is assumed. I believe he assumes that since we have been talking about 3.667 that if he just rounded to 3.7 that we would know.</p>
<p>Um, I assume classes like AP Computer Science are considered "academic" by most colleges. It would really hurt my GPA to have those taken out, at least....</p>
<p>they said they wont accept my computer science course as a transfer course.</p>
