In high school I took a couple of non-AP college credit classes. Simply put, your whole "grade" for the course was based on 1 final test. However, when transferred to my school they just came in as P/F. Is this something that will have to be reported for GPA hours. The transcript actually says "suggested/recommended" grade and credit hours. I don't know what to do?

i was in the situation as well. Since you took these classes at a college and their is an official transcript, they will be added into your cumulative or science g.p.a. I really hated the situation because I made a couple C's in those classes as a stupid senior in high school and did not make C's during my official college career. It lowered my gpa by around .15 but I got in somewhere I will be happy to go to so im not too upset. good luck

thats whack... do you know how they calculate numeric grades into GPA bc one of the three transcripts i have was an 85. B? B+? ehh... eitherway my gpa is going down.

i had some A-'s, I could be wrong but an A- is around a 3.7 or so so a B+ is probabaly a 3.3 or something. It also could be the A- turns into an A and the B+ turns to a B and they are worth a 4.0 and 3.0, respectively. But i totally forgot since this was about 4 months ago when i filled it out. Good luck!

My school currently uses plus grades but not minus ones, so would it be wrong to input a c+ as 2.5 rather than just click on c+ and have them calculate it as 2.3? My school uses 2.5, not 2.3, so I think that would make more sense, right?

This is the 2010 amcas grade conversion chart. it shows what to do at least for them.

if your transcript says C+, i think your aacomas will have some standardrized grade for every C+, it doesnt matter what your college thinks a C+ is worth

i looked at my application, an A+=4, A-=3.7, then goes down from there. Good luck to everyone!
