How will AMCAS calculate this course grade? 3.8 and 3.9 in a course, will it be rounded to 4.0?

So I took a few classes at a CC years back when I was in a dual enrollment program. I'm applying this cycle and entering my grades into AMCAS and realized some of the professors at the CC apparently report grades differently.

I received a 3.8 as a course grade for a bio class, and a 3.9 as a course grade in a economics class. I've read through the AMCAS grade conversion PDF but couldn't find a solid answer...

Will the 3.8 and 3.9 be rounded to 4.0? or back down to 3.7? Luckily the 4 year I transferred to reports grades as A/A-/B+/B, etc.

You would most likely have to convert those numerical scores to regular AMCAS letter grades. Wouldn't be surprised if the 3.8 --> A- and 3.9 --> A.
The only way to know is to call AMCAS since the PDF does not say anything about this.

My school does only 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, etc. That is what is on my transcript, and that is what was reported and used for calculating.
They didn't convert it at all to A, A- or some other measurement. Great for the 4.0, not so good for the 3.5 though
