<p>I see that the LSAC gives a 4.3 for an A+. But my school only gives an A (90+) which is a 4.0.</p>
<p>So what is going to happen?</p>
<p>Nothing. Your A will be counted as a 4.0. Unless you would have racked up a lot of A+'s, it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>If I were I’d be happy a 90 is an A and not an A- lol.</p>
<p>A-'s are much more common than A+'s at schools that do give +/-. Enjoy the advantage</p>
<p>Not really an advantage since GPA is recalculated anyway…</p>
<p>It is an advantage because the student’s low A’s will be 4.0, as opposed to the 3.66 of an A-. It will, in most cases, outweigh the fact that high A’s will also be 4.0’s, as opposed to 4.33.</p>
<p>^ Perhaps on the transcript. But LSAC recalculates it, and those (A-s) will show up as what they are.</p>
<p>
No they’re not. Eg LSAC has no way of knowing that he received an A from a 91 vs a 95.</p>
<p>^Then how do you explain differences in transcript GPA and LSAC GPA?</p>
<p>
What differences?</p>
<p>TP is way off his rocker here. Some schools will <em>display</em> an A- on the transcript but count it as a 4.0. In that situation, LSAC will change it to a 3.67.</p>
<p>But if a school <em>shows</em> an A, then LSAC will treat it as a 4.0.</p>
<p>Obviously it has no way of knowing what a student’s grade in a class was. Come on.</p>
<p>^ Well I was obviously confused about it, so thank you for the clarification.</p>
<p>dang…no A-'s?</p>
<p>that’s awesome.</p>
<p>Yeah, my school does +/- except for A+, so you can bust your balls to get a regular A, slip a little and get an A-</p>
<p>But never an A+</p>
