Does research account for SCI GPA?
Started by Valigator00
Mine did, coz the course title was PDBiology-494-academic reserach...
So I think if your's is calssified as Biology, it's definitely science course...
Right. I am a biochem major so title of mine is BCH 498. I was hoping that it counted because I will have 15 credits in it by the time I graduate. Thank you for the reply.

My cousin has 30 units of A+ (4.33 GPA ) research credit under "BIO199" which counts as BCP. Talk about inflation..lol
Thats dumb (p/f).
I do love those 4.3 A+'s
It is dumb that they do not average it into your science GPA. That is what I meant to say 🙂

Yeah, but for the aadsas gpa, your A+'s will be counted as 4.33
Imagine if they were A+s...
This is awesome news. Thank you for replies 😀
Not true... You are instructed to insert your grade exactly how it appears on your transcript. Since Universitys that do not use +/- grading systems don't have +/-s on the transcript you would be lying if you choose the A+ pulldown.. Also, if your school does not do +/- then those will not be represented on your transcript, so how will you remember ALL of your classes exact number grades and put them as +/- on AADSAS. You won't. I had this problem.
Plus a person whose school does not use this system, has no number levels set for +/- (ie. >97 A+) so you could create your own system (>95 A+) and boost yourself above the others.
Thank You.
Ditto.
If your school does NOT use plus minus grading then you will not have a +/- on your transcript.
If you have been given an A+ or A- on your transcript then your school does do +/- grading, Hence giving you a 4.3 or 3.8 towards your AADSAS GPA instead of the 4.0.
Let me know if I'm wrong...
I didn't want ppl to think that their 100's would be counted as a 4.3 AADSAS if their school does not use +/-

As for this, I figured your meaning to be that a very high A (known to most as an A+) is written as an A on your transcript which would indicate NO plus/minus system..
If your equation is correct, then....A high A, is still an A on your transcript which equals a 4.0 which means you WILL NOT recieve the AADSAS 4.3 (A+=A=4.0) My QR wasn't great but i think i got this one. haha
If you have an A- is that still worth 4.0 or is that worth a 3.8? If not then UCLA is not plus minus and unless your transcript says A+ you will not receive the 4.3
True plus/minus grading systems are those that have seperate GPA's for each +/- grade. IE. A+=4.3 A=4.0 A-=3.8 etc..

At UCLA:
A+=4.0
A=4.0
A-=3.7
B+=3.3
B=3.0
B-=2.7
....... and so on
A+'s do show up on our transcripts. But when factored into our UCLA GPA, they do not count for extra. However, we are still nonetheless a +/- school.
BTW, as far as aadsas gpa goes, A-=3.7 (not 3.8). Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Thanks for that, that sucks UCLA won't give you higher than a 4.0 but will give you less... At least you'll get it on your AADSAS gpa. goodluck this round.
(yea i wasn't sure about the 3.7/3.8, i guessed. Like i said my school was simple and lazy, no +/-. Although I haven't taken the time to figure if it would have helped or hurt me?? We actually had a trial +/- period and the student govt voted to decline using it)

A lot of people at UCLA get the research 199 science credits 🙂 I think the limit is 45 units
