A=A+=A+ honors=A+ with anything else=4.0

AMCAS counts them all as a 4 for your grade point average. Some ADCOMs might eye through your transcripts and see the honors, but either way they're the same for your GPA.

If you are getting anything below an 'A+ with honors' you should really consider a post-bacc program.

why go through all that? just beast the mcat so the adcomms see your "A with honors" was only a minor setback.

I'll take the A- and use the rest of my time more wisely. There's more to preparation than tests, and a 3.7 will get you in the door anywhere.

Nah, unless you get a 40+ to balance out the A with honors ... you're pretty much done.
