<p>Do the exact numerical grades matter, or just the letter grades in general?</p>
<p>For example: If, say, you want to major in business and you are in AP econ class, would it matter if you earned a 91 instead of a 98 in the class?</p>
<p>the numerical grade doesn't matter much to colleges... They only look at the letter grades, and they use the letter grades to calculate your overall GPA. At my school, if your numerical grade is anywhere between 96.5-100, then that corresponds to a letter grade A+, which is 4.33 out of the 4.00 scale. I would say though in your case there is a huge difference between a 91 and a 98 because you're comparing basically an A- to an A+.</p>

<p>At my school, an A is an A. and 89 is a B, just like an 80..</p>
