<p>My high school gives percentage grades on transcripts and this works against my favor:
I only got 2 Bs in all of high school (I'm a junior). However, because nearly half of my A's are A minuses, colleges can see that most of my "percentage" grades are low A's.
Students from many other schools may have gotten the same percentage grades as me but because their high schools only show the letter grades they could have a transcript of (A,A,A,A,A,B,A,A,A,A,A,B,A...) with which colleges will never know whether they were low or high B's or A's</p>
<p>Is that a disadvantage?</p>
