Most recalculate but they only do it to their own wieghts and/or to change it to a purely academic GPA.
But they aren’t gonna look at your number grades and try to change the letter grades shown on your transcript.

Like if one kid who goes to a school where a 90-100 is an "A"has a academic transcript of A, A, A, A, A and you have an academic transcript of A, B (90), B (92), A, A, the other kid will have a higher recalculated grade (assuming that the class levels are equal and so any additional wieghting would be equal).

At least on my transcript, the Number grade for the class isnt even on there, so the college wouldn’t know the number grade and couldn’t do anything about it anyways.
and you ha
