<p>Ok, this may be a stupid question, but I don't know the answer. Will having an A- rather than a solid A decrease my chances of getting into UCLA or Berkeley? I got almost all A-'s but they were in Honors and AP classes too...but... I even got an A- in Varsity Basketball...which is really really really annoying!!! I was wondering if I should try and argue with my coach to raise it to an A or if it even matters... all of my grades were about .5% away from a solid A...is this bad??????? Would it have been better if I had gotten solid A's or does it not matter?????</p>
<p>An "A" or an "A-" is all the same on for the UC GPA grading scale. You'll still get a 4 for either an "A" or an "A-", plus a point extra (up to eight) for every Honors/AP class you took during your sophomore/junior year.</p>
<p>A- increases your chances in normal circumstances, so if you asked this question elsewhere you'd not be safe</p>
<p>no it wont affect anything...</p>
<p>as Xcellerator said, for the UCs GPA system, a 90 is the same as a 100. so dont worry about it.</p>
<p>UC's do not give weight to pluses or minuses. An A- will be considered an "A"</p>
<p>You're kidding, right?</p>
<p>I actually looked at your previous posts to see if you were joking...I couldn't decide either way. All I can say is that it seems to me that you are fixated with the UCs, so I really recommend googling UC admissions. That will take you to their website where all of this stuff is written.</p>
<p>ok. and no i am serious.......it just bugs me because i got an A- in everything even basketball and i hope this wouldn't affect my chance of getting in...but i guess the answer is no?</p>
<p>you dont need to worry at all about A-'s
check out their GPA calculator:CaliforniaColleges.edu</a> - Calculating Your GPA
An A is A whether its a 90 or a 100</p>

<p>wow .. i like how i feel really stupid now! thanks guys! hhaaha</p>
<p>I doubt any college would hold A-'s against you...</p>
