<p>Spring: 4.3
Cumulative: 3.99</p>

3

<p>^^ Your school factors in A+s?</p>

<p>My school doesn’t. I got A+ in physics, but it shows up as an A on my transcript.</p>

4

<p>Wait, east89, are you a high school student? If not, what school do you go to? I’ve never heard of a college that has weighted grades (in regards to your “4.3” GPA).</p>

5

<p>

</p>

<p>Then what’s the point of even having an A+?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure there’s other colleges out there that do that, as well. LSAC even accounts for A+s as a 4.3 when students send in their transcripts for law school admissions. I believe Columbia uses the system, but I’m not certain on that one. The term weighted usually applies to honors classes, which is not the case in this instance; it’s just the fact that an A+=4.3, while an A is equivalent to a 4.0. This differs from HS since I’ve never known one to use an A+ grading system, and the only way one can go above a 4.0 is with honors and AP.</p>

<p>Edit: yea, I was right about Columbia:</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 Cumulative: 4.0</p>

<p>I wish my school offered A+s, I would have had 4 of them :confused:
I am going to miss these easy general ed classes.</p>

9

<p>I’m pretty sure Stanford and Rice also weigh A+s as 4.3s.</p>

10

<p>Yeah Stanford gives out A+s as 4.3s as well.</p>

11

<p>So does this mean that schools that don’t take into account A+s, put their students at a disadvantage?</p>

12

<p>^^I’ve always been told to put your GPA out of maximum possible on resumes. For example, your GPA line would read “3.8/4.0”</p>

<p>So, no.</p>

13

<p>^^ wow, I never knew that. </p>

<p>Thanks. I learned something new today. :)</p>

14

<p>Intro to human origins: B</p>

<p>Japanese biggeners 2: C</p>

<p>Japanese History: C-</p>

<p>Semester: 3.305
Cumulative: 3.203</p>

16

<p>Can I ask something? I’m not familiar with the US grading system. If you miss an A somewhere, does that mean your cumulative GPA can’t reach 4.0 anymore?</p>

17

<p>Calc II – C
Intro to Materials Science – A
Physics I – B+
Intro to Matlab – A-</p>

<p>GPA: 3.13
Cum. GPA: 2.95</p>

<p>I wish Vandy believed in 4.3’s :(</p>

18

<p>I won’t post my classes and grades. Just my GPA:</p>

<p>Spring Semester: 2.9
Cumulative: 3.25 (it dropped from a 3.3, which makes a difference to me)</p>

<p>I had a terrible and I mean horrible semester. What made me even more angry was that I worked so hard in the fall and ended up with a semester GPA of 3.75. Then to go to a 2.9 in the spring — that just suuuuucked. </p>

<p>I shouldn’t have taken 3 linguistics courses. I really thought I would love this major, but I hate it. It’s too philosophical and scientific for my liking. I’m going back to English/Literature :(</p>

<p>I figure I can still graduate with a 3.5 or 3.6 at the end of my undergrad years if I work as hard as I did in the fall.</p>

19

<p>It seems to me that college will be A LOT more difficult than I anticipated. Seeing all of these C’s scares me lol</p>

Econ 201- A
Math 136 (biz math/applied calc) - A
