Is there any difference between an A and A+?

Trust me, im not a neurotic pre-med. It's just that there was this really easy class where I could have gotten an A+, but got an A. Im not worrying by all means, just something that popped up into my mind. Thanks.

^_^ nope

Won't matter, AMCAS counts A+ and A as the same (4.0).

AMCAS robbed me of my pretty A+s.

In my school, an A is 85-89% and an A+ is 90%+.

it strokes your ego. I got an A+ in intro stat, but now (being smarter than before) I could have gotten and A with a quarter of the effort which I should have done.

Wow. I'm very envious.

Mine is:
90%-93% A-
94%-100% A
(Although this is at the teacher's discretion.)

Dang, that sucks too cause AMCAS counts A- as 3.7

Same here. Some classes (only 2 or 3 my whole undergrad time) it is 90-95% A-, 96% up A. Sucks but oh well. I've never even heard of school's giving an A+. Seems stupid since after your undergrad that means nothing.

😛 I had a class (Biology of Cancer, 500 level class) that anything below a 96 was an A-. Darn you curving up! On the flip side of that coin though, in orgo, an A was like 75. B was anything about a 55 (class average = low 40s )...> I wish my school had A+s...they're sooo purdy on the transcripts 😛

At least you have a better chance than me at American med schools because of your citizenship status.
