Hey there, I've noticed that some colleges convert letter grades into number grades for GPA. Specifically, I've seen an A- listed separately a few times. What does an A- usually translate to in terms of GPA on a 4.0 scale?
Hey! When converting your letter grades to your GPA, an A- is commonly translated to a 3.7 on a 4.0 scale. However, this can vary depending on the exact grading scale used by a particular school, so it's always a good idea to check how your specific high school calculates GPA and how that aligns with colleges' methodologies during admissions evaluation. Keep in mind, your course rigor and overall academic trajectory are also key components when colleges evaluate your academic performance.
