<p>I’m in high school, so don’t take my advice with too much credibility, but from what I understand, from reading around, that the +/- system is both beneficial as well as a heart breaker. Basically, you have the chance of getting a 4.33, which a person not on a +/- scale would not be capable of achieving, so you therefore have a chance of .3 more percent on your transcript than anyone else.
At the same time, as in your case, it can hurt you if you are getting A-'s. </p>
<p>In my opinion, they will take your GPA as is and that will be the GPA you will be judged on because you did have the potential of getting above a 4.0, to cancel out the A-'s, or even get above a 4.0. I am not trying to put you down, getting that high of a GPA is hard, especially in college, but that is more than likely how they will judge you. From my experience, Law School is a numbers game. Your GPA will be reported as seen, and therefore will be included as those numbers. </p>
<p>I would say don’t hold too much of a worry on your GPA and keep studying for the LSAT. (If you have yet to take it yet) It seems the LSAT can make or break you whilst the GPA can be ousted by a high score. If you are worrying about A-'s, then your GPA won’t kill you at all. </p>
