<p>At my school, an "A" is 94 and up. But i used to go to public school and it was 90 and up over there. So what does a college consider an "A" when it views the transcript full of grades?</p>
<p>A as in not an A- or A+(if ur school has those). 93 is an A. idk school recalculate gpa, which doesnt make sense if they dont know the #. Every school is different though. </p>
<p>This is a really good question lol</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that your high school has to submit a profile to each college that you apply to, and in the profile, it gives the specifics about what percentage is an A, how GPA is calculated, and so forth. Ergo, colleges know how to interpret the grades.</p>
<p>^^^Correct.</p>
<p>But would the adcoms really sit down and compare #1Student’s A with #2Student’s A?</p>
<p>bump…thought it was a good question…</p>
<p>It’s 93 and up at both high schools i’ve attended but technically 92.5 since we round up. But like powerbomb said an A is an A regardless of whether it’s a bare minimum A or a 100.</p>
<p>But see Harambee at my high school, a 93 would be a B since the cutoff for A’s is 94. So if you and I made a 93 in the same class, then would your’s be viewed as an A and mine as a B? or what?</p>
<p>There is no universal 93%. It could be that everyone at your school gets higher percentages. What really matters is how each school grades, not the grading scale.</p>
<p>Thus, the class rank comes in to play</p>
<p>I hate all of you guys.</p>
<p>At my school, an A- is a 92 and A is a 95.</p>
<p>I used to go to a school where you had to get a 97 to get a pure A (weird, I know). Fortunately the school I’m at now uses the standard scale with 90 being an A- and 93 an A.</p>
