Hello all, I was reading over the AACOMAS guidelines for calculating GPA and got a bit confused with which value to use. My undergraduate uses a A (4), B+ (3.5), B (3), C+ (2.5), C (2), D (1), and F (0) grading scale.

Reading over the AACOMAS list, I see that they have an AB (3.5) which my school does not use. Does this mean I use 3.3 (AACOMAS B+ value) to calculate my GPA for classes where I got a B+ in? Thanks.

All values were found on this page

Yes, it doesn't matter what your undergraduate uses. They will recalculate your GPA using their numbers.

For example:
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B - = 2.7

Hope this helps!
