Hi guys,

In terms of GPA calculations for OTCAS I was wondering how they take into account plus/minus grades. At my current university they have the +/- grading in place however an A- could be 90-92, 89.5-91, 90-94, etc depending on the professor. In 2 courses I received an A- with a 93, in another course I received an A- with a 89.7. Would the first two courses be counted as an A or A-, furthermore, would the third be counted as an A- or B+.

Now beside my 4-year university I took a few pre-reqs at a community college. Their grading scale has no plus/minus grades so an 80-90 is a B, a 90-100 is an A, etc. If I take more classes next summer and get lets say a 91, will OTCAS count this as an A or A-?

In terms of alpha scale, the school do have letter grades.. if you need more info please let me know. The OTCAS FAQ kinda through me off.

Thanks for your help! 🙂

My understanding is that they go based on whatever your transcript says. If you received an A for the course it will count as an A (4.0). An A- on your transcript will be a 3.7 (or somewhere around there). If your school uses letter grades on the transcript, the percentages are not regarded.
