AACOMAS Grading Question!!

I understand what the grading scales is for AACOMAS, but I am still confused when I try to apply it to my personal grades. For example here are the grading examples from AACOMAs:
A+ = 4.0
A- = 3.7

But the grading scale at my school (http://www.pdx.edu/registration/grading-system#/?section=grades) is the following:
A = 4.0
A- = 3.67

So if I receive an A- at my school, does that get rounded up to a 3.7 for AACOMAS? Or does it specifically have to 3.7 and above? And if it is the second option, than does that mean the A- option is not available for me?

Thank you!

AACOMAS is going to assign their grade weight to it, not your schools. It will be the 3.7 when AACOMAS calculates your overall GPA's. Now if you're applying to Texas schools, that's another story.

Can you explain what you mean from the above quote?

Texas schools have their own application system. They don't count any +/- they just round to the nearest whole letter (B+ would be counted as a B, A- as an A and so on)

Whoa, didn't know that! To bad TCOM doesn't participate in grade replacement.
