<p>Just curious: do colleges care about A-? My school gives an A- a 3.8 and an A+ (although rare) a 4.2 or something, but I don't know if all schools do? Will a plus or minus impact an application?</p>
<p>no it's still a A</p>
<p>No. My motto is "If it's above an 89.5, it's all good." At my school, teachers usually round an 89.5 to an A.</p>
<p>My school doesn't care about - or +'s, all the teachers have to do is fill in a bubble that says A, B, etc. Doesn't matter if it's a high A or just an 89.5 (teachers at my school round up too), it's all an A (hence I let myself skip a few assignments I don't feel like doing because I know it'll show up to colleges as the same grade anyways.</p>
<p>I doubt they will care since they know many schools don't count anything but the letter grade</p>
<p>I wish my school used the 90-100 scale for an A. We use 92-100 and come report card time, you're freaking out about a 91% in a super tough class and trying to find ways to bump it up half a percent so it gets rounded to an A. I've been fortunate enough though to receive straight A's through high school, but it would be nice not having to worry about cutting it close sometimes, especially in AP classes.</p>
<p>No, that's still a very good grade. Don't stress yourself about it!</p>
<p>i think most colleges consider A- as the same as an A...it only matters if you got a higher grade the previous semester (A-, then = not good)</p>
<p>It probably depends on the context of the school. At my school, I need a 95 to get an A, and a 93 for an A-. Since there are other students with a 4.0, I have to get above a 95 in every class to maintain my class rank. The class rank is where it will get you.</p>
<p>Yeah we use 93=A</p>
