Since A+'s become a 4.0 on AMCAS, do med schools actually see that you received an A+ as opposed to an A?

Thanks!

I was just wondering because my undergraduate GPA is about a 4.0 but my app was verified earlier today and my BCPM is a 3.91 and total is a 3.90. I understand that A+'s become a 4.0, but I was wondering if med schools actually see that you received an A+ as opposed to an A?

Thanks!

The original transcript marks should be listed on your app, so I think yes.

You are probably unattractive.
 
I am pretty sure A+ go to an A on the transcript that AMCAS sends the schools
 
I'm not sure if the schools see what you originally submitted or just what AMCAS corrects them to. In any case, it doesn't matter so stop worrying about it. Go do something fun.
 
How does AMCAS view A-'s? Are they also calculated as A- = A = A+??

...what? :uhno:

A- is 3.7, A = A+ = 4.0.

It's the same grading scale used at most schools.
 
I've got several 'S' for satisfactorys under my belt (since I never disappoint), just need to convert them to a numerical score. 7?
 
I've already had a secondary application ask me for grades-- I entered 3 A+'s total..... :)

D's in prereqs are actually counted as "-1's" in the AMCAS calculation. So, if you received an "A" in Herpetology but a "D" in Physics, AMCAS counts it as an overall "1.5" GPA.

After April 30th, can schools that you're waitlisted at see where you have PTE'd (name of the school)? Or they just see that you have PTE'd somewhere?
