Well B- = B-, A- = A-
but my school does not have +/- so just wondering how that works (since A+ = 4.33)

There is a thread about this "4.33 A+" a few posts up that talks a lot about this.
Basically if your school give you A+/- dental schools will view it as such.
If your schools do NOT give +/- dental schools will view it as such.
So if you only get ABCDE without +/-, dental schools will grade it out of the traditional 4,3,2,1,0 scale.
This may not seam fair, but if you think about it, it is. For those not graded on a +/- scale, they can get a 80% and still get a 3.0, but for those graded on a +/- scale if they got an 80% it would be a B- and they would get a 2.667. Which is a disadvantage. So obviously if they should also be able to get a B+ 3.333 as well.

A on transcript = A for dental school
If you want to delay your application, just enter A+ for all of your A's.
