Oakland University William Beaumont Question

For this school's supplemental application, they require us to input our prerequisite courses and they also ask for the grade. I was wondering if anyone knew whether we were supposed to input letter grades (A,A+, etc) or grades based on the 4.0 scale.

Also, if the latter, I have another question. AMCAS converted all my A's to A+'s (so they are both equal to 4.0). If I enter my grades based on the 4.0 scale, do I enter both A's and A+'s as 4.0?

Also, I have recently retaken a prerequisite course which was not on the transcript that I sent in (because the course was still in progress, but they have a section to attach an unofficial transcript). My mark on the retake is higher than the original and I was wondering if it would be fine to input the grade for the course when I retook it rather than when I first took it.

I believe I entered mine as letter grades, just like on the AMCAS. These questions are probably best directed to the school admissions staff, though.

I also recall entering letter grades. As for the retake class, I would put whatever was on your transcript. I believe the secondary question is just for the adcom's convenience — mine was just the same info that could be found on my primary app with some effort.

Thanks for the responses!

and yeah, I think I'll call the school tomorrow morning
