Members don't see this ad.

So i was looking at my application
and my gpa with +/- is .1 diff than my gpa without the + and -.
for example, a 3.4 with +- and a 3.3 without +/-.
i know there is no BIG difference, but how come do they do this? which one do they favor? weigh more?
I mean even though theyre not hugely different, i would prefer for them to weigh a 3.4 instead of a 3.3 !! haha
but please let me know anybody?
thanks

if i only had a nickel for every time this question was asked. to save you some time with the search function, basically it seems that both are looked at but the large private schools tend to weigh the w/o more than the w/ and the public schools prefer the w/
