Hey everyone! I'm kinda confused about the GPA scale. Does anyone know what GPA is considered an A-? Would it be like a 3.7 or something else? Thanks for your help in advance!
Hi there! Different schools might have slightly varying scales, but on the typical 4.0 GPA scale, an A- usually corresponds to a 3.7. Here's a rough breakdown of letter grades and their corresponding GPA values, based on the standard scale:
- A+: 4.0 (some schools do not assign an A+)
- A: 4.0
- A-: 3.7
- B+: 3.3
- B: 3.0
- B-: 2.7
- C+: 2.3
- C: 2.0
- C-: 1.7
- D+: 1.3
- D: 1.0
- D-: 0.7
- F: 0.0
Keep in mind that some schools may use different grades-to-GPA conversions or might have weighted GPAs that differ based on course rigor. Overall, though, an A- would most commonly be considered a 3.7 GPA. Good luck with everything!
