Such an interesting thread. Poster wants to know is an A- a 4.0 or lower presumably wondering about greater admission chances if it’s a 4.0. Probably Penn does count A- a 4.0 if 56% have 4.0 according to CDS. Which doesn’t mean at all that there is any greater chance of admission with a 4.0 or 3.9 however they calculate it. It only means 56% admitted have a 4.0 however they calculate it. Same concept with similar school applications. Unless someone had the exact same load with exact same teachers and exact same periods of classes it’s not the same. Every poster stating it doesn’t matter is ultimately correct, the application is the same however it is calculated.
