pluses on letter grades

[byeh2004]

Do adcoms only look at your grades for GPA only or do they actually look at each individual one? Like i know of course a B+ would be better than a solid B in terms of GPA but what about the plus? If it was like an A+ as oppose of a solid A where both would be 4's would the A+ matter?

The B+ is obviosuly better than the B, GPAwise adn simply because its there. However, AMCAS makes all A+'s into regular A's, so the psychological effect is gone. (I know it sucks, I lost four of them)

If you have a lot of them they might notice when they look through our grades on your AMCAS, the OT grade still has the A+. I doubt that it will help much though.

I wish they'd drop the minuses instead

unfortunately uconn doesn't award A+'s only A's regardless of how high your average is. i guess some schools have a system where A+'s are worth more than a 4.0, but its all the same here. the only reason to really work for that high average is bragging rights among friends. cheers.
