What's an A at your college? I got a 94 average and got an A-..

Usually 93, but I had one class that was 80 because the prof went to undergrad in Canada.

100-98 = 4.0 = A+
97-96 = 3.9 = A
95-94 = 3.8 = A
93-92 = 3.7 = A-
91 = 3.6 = A-

Grr. At least my school curves pretty heavily. I've heard AMCAS rounds 3.8 down to a 3.7 though...

Given the percentage cutoffs and the fact that the assigned letter grade for a 3.8 point value is a straight A, it seems AMCAS will in fact give you a 4.0 weight for it. Your grading system is unusual, however.
