Hi all!! Just a quick question... When filling out our coursework in VMCAS, I see there is a column that has the grade we input, and then a VMCAS grade. I understand that A+'s are still equal to 4.0, but I see that in the column "VMCAS grade," A+'s are listed as A's. Will the schools see that we actually received an A+, though it's counted as an A?

I don't mean to start a debate about A+'s vs. A's because I know a lot of schools, or classes, don't distribute A+'s... but I'm just wondering if schools will even know that we received an A+ if it was offered?

any school that requires a physical copy of your transcript will know. other than that i doubt theres much you can do. i wouldnt worry about it, it's probably not looked at more favorably since it's not very commonly used
