Question about +, -, and more

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I had a question that has been bothering me for a while now...and now it's time to ask you guys :-)</p>

<p>Do colleges, such as UCs and Ivy Leagues, take into account +s and -s in grades? For example, do they count a B- different from a B different from a B+? I know that it has no affect in terms of GPA, but does it make any sort of difference or have any sort of effect otherwise?</p>

<p>In addition, here's another question. Say I'm planning to major in English. Last semester, I earned a B in English and an A- in Trig; this semester, I earned an A- in English and a B+ in Trig. Will colleges like the fact that I got an A- in English second semester, even though I got a B+ in Trig? Any positives or negatives at all?</p>

<p>That's about it. Please reply :-)</p>

<p>I don’t think they will study the switch in grades very closely. You’ll be fine.</p>

<p>I don’t get a plus or a minus on any grades. On my transcript there is a number grade and a key on the top saying what each number is.</p>
