They go exactly by what's on your transcript. For schools (including mine, perhaps we go to the same uni) that don't have +/- grades, they are not factored in.The official AMCAS website says they consider +/- grades when calculating my GPA, but I'm confused as to how that is even possible. My school does not use the +/- system, so it does not show up anywhere on my transcript. I'm worried about this because a lot of my A's (probably most) are low 90's. Can AMCAS somehow figure out that I got a 90 and give me an A- for the course? Thank you!
Did it ever occur to you that other schools might use a +/- grading system????The official AMCAS website says they consider +/- grades when calculating my GPA, but I'm confused as to how that is even possible.

well yeah obviously I know that, I was just talking about my school because we don't use the +/- system. AMCAS says they count all +/- grades even if your school does not, which is why i was confused.
As in they use their own GPA scale even if your school counts an A- the same as an A. AMCAS is not going to know what % you had for schools that just give letter grades (ie the vast majority of them)
Ok. That's what I figured, but the wording was a tad confusing. Thanks for clarifying!
