<p>I have a problem: my school counts A's as 93 and above. If I get a 90, 91, or a 92 will that be counted as a B for colleges?</p>
<p>how does your school grade? if it's an A-F scale, than I believe they will only see the letter grade. </p>
<p>But the college will know how your school grades and probably take it into account.</p>
<p>my schools the same cosine. luckily my school reports straight numerical grades rather than letters. it sort of angers me though because ive never gotten below a 90 or 91 in a class but thats still Bs where in most schools it would be all As</p>
<p>yeah, at my school an "A-" is 90-92, while an "A" is 93-95 and "A+" is 96-100.</p>
<p>My school lists their grading scale on the report card - like 90 - 93 is A-, etc... if your school has that, then the college will most likely take it into account - actually, your school SHOULD have something like that, elsewise, how are the colleges supposed to know if your school considers a 23 an A+?</p>
<p>well ours is 94-100 A 90-93 B+</p>
<p>sydney, my school just lists the letter grade. i'm pretty sure a college know that at any reputable high school, a 23 is not an A+.</p>

<p>They'd assume. But you never know. :)</p>
<p>at my school, As are different for all classes. For example, As in the following classes:</p>
<p>Math: 90-100
Science: 88-100
English: 93-100</p>
<p>Hm. My school also has the 96-100 A+, 93-95 A, 90-92 A-, but there are grade curves in certain AP classes (for example, an 88 would be an A-).</p>
<p>First of all, if you get 90-92, it will count as a B for your GPA.</p>
<p>Second of all, colleges will understand your grading system - it should be included with your counselor's report. However, the reason why your school probably does that is because too many people would get A's otherwise. In other words, a 90-92 is probably not near the highest grades in the class. They probably have (numerical) grade inflation, but try to deflate that by changing the letter grade conversion. So a 90-92 just might be suitable for a B in your case because of the context of your school (many more people with 93+).</p>
<p>thanks to everyone who replied...this is my grading system by the way:
A: 97-100
A-: 93-96
B: 89-92
B-: 85-88...and so on</p>
<p>theoneo, in certain classes last year, i got a 91 but I still had a 4.0</p>
<p>were they weighted maybe?</p>
<p>Yeah my school grades like</p>
<p>100-93 = A
92-85 = B
84-75 = C
74-65 = D</p>
<p>And if you take honors/AP courses they add so many points to your grade like if your grade is between a 100-98, they add 6% to your grade so you'd get like a 106-104. If you get 98-96 you get 5%, 95-93 4%...and so on. That's how they weight your GPA, which I think is stupid. A lot of people who take easier classes are ranked higher because they'll get a 100% in the easy class opposed to taking the harder one and getting a low A. It's very hard to get over 100% in an honors class unless it's like French. Especially AP English is incredibly tough to even get an A in so while the AP people are struggling through it, there's kids in regular acing with a 100% and getting ranked higher. It really upsets me but ohhh welll.</p>

I was referring to cosine45's situation, in which 90-92 earns a B.</p>
<p>My grade system is good : A+: 95-100, A: 90-94, B+: 85-59, etc. 65 is failing</p>
