I am in my second year and I only got an A+ once, in some English class. All it did was boost my GPA up by .02 points, so if I dock that off my total, it brings me down to 3.85. No big deal to me, but whatever.



But aren’t A+, A, A-, B+… in 4.3 system counted as A, A-, B+, B in 4.0 system? I mean, 4.3(A+) is the max. in the 4.3 system, so if you divide whatever GPA you get by 4.3, you get a percentage. Because 3.87 out of 4.3 and 3.87 out of 4.0 yield different percentages, your 3.87 will turn out to be lower in actual percentage compared to that calculated from the same GPA in 4.0 system, right? (even if you don’t add all the A+s you got into your GPA)
