<p>isn't that a little unfair if your school doesn't give -'s and +'s so a 90 is an A versus a school where a 90 is an A- :/</p>
<p>YESSSSS! very unfair -_-</p>
<p>You can probably tell I'm somewhat bitter about this.. =P</p>
<p>Colleges take this fact into account when they look at your GPA.</p>
<p>Not only are there no plusses and minuses, in our school district you need a 92 for an A and an 83 for a B. That means that a 91 is B. It's unfair to compete against schools where someone can get a 79.9 (our neighboring district) and pull a B while a 91 here gets a B.</p>
<p>URGHHHHH</p>
<p>It does seem unfair. At my school, a 90% is an A (and most teachers allow 89.5+ grades to be rounded up to an A). An A is an A is an A at my school, and I like it that way for the most part (it benefits me, who does the minimum amount of work for the best amount of grade, being an A). But then again, this gives students absolutely no incentive to get any higher grade than a 90%. Because a 107.5%=90%=A. And we all know that incentives truly do matter :D</p>
<p>my school is like this :\ ehh, sometimes it helps, sometimes is doesn't. when they don;t count an 88 as an A, IT SUCKS. :(</p>
<p>Colleges know all these differences in grading systems based on the school profiles that they get.</p>
<p>yeah but they don't know if your 'B' is an 80 or an 89...HUGE DIFF</p>
<p>this annoys me soo much. We have an A+, A, A-, etc., system. Therefore, I have a lower GPA because I have a half A+'s, and half A's (you have to get a 98-100 to get an A+, which is pretty hard at my school), while at any other regular high school, my GPA could be nearly perfect.</p>
<p>//rant.</p>
<p>I got a lot of B+s, which would have become Bs, but I also got a lot of A-s that would have become As. Wonder whether my gpa would be higher or lower.</p>
