<p>I have been a consistent straight A student so far throughout high school (now I am a junior). However, i have around 4 A-'s. Do colleges take A-'s into account as inferior to A's?</p>
<p>I know that some schools do drop GPA if a student gets an A-. I'm just curious if colleges look upon them negatively.</p>
<p>Thank you for responding (if you do). I appreciate your opinions.</p>
<p>I know my school counts A-'s as less than A’s
If they didn’t I would be so happy. You have no idea how frustrating it is to see my GPA drop because of a few 94’s.</p>
<p>I think that they probably do look at them less favorable then say, an A, but its not like it is a deciding factor. Every school’s grades are done differently, and grade inflation and really rigorous grading make GPAs a little bit subjective. They will look in context, and in no way will an A- keep you out of a great school.</p>
<p>depends on how your school weights, I think.
On a hundred scale, its pretty common.
on 4 scale, not too common.</p>
<p>Doesn’t matter. Rank is all that counts. Keep your rank high; the A/A- distinction beyond that is a matter of personal pride and the desire to self-challenge.</p>
