I was wondering …if you have a flat 90 in a class, is it treated as a 4.0 just as a 100 would be or is like a 3.75 or something? Im trying to calculate my GPA because i’m transferring colleges.
How are A’s versus A-’s treated on the 4.0 scale when calculating your GPA for transferring colleges?

It depends on the college. My first college would have called a 90 an A-, and assigned 3.7 points to it. My current school doesn’t use + or -, so 90 = A = 4.0. What does it say on your transcript – A or A-?

At my school, it was 3.66 for an A-, 3.33 for a B+, and 3 for a B. I would ask your school for a copy of your transcript so that your GPA will match the one on the transcript. You never know what weird rule your college might have for the calculation.

Usually “A -” would be consider as a regular “A” In other words it is counted as a 4 in a grade point average scale. Unless its an honor class than that A – would be consider as a 5 I believe. I think 3.75 is more as a B or student rather than an A. I’m sure of that.

usually an A- is the same as an A GPA wise.
