Do top-25 college/universities look down upon A minus grades?

<p>At our school an A- is 3.67 for regular classes, 4.67 for Honors. </p>

<p>I haven’t gotten any A-'s yet in freshman or sophomore year, but we’ll see about junior year.</p>

<p>I know Purdue takes A-'s into account when looking at whether someone is qualified for Honors College. Not Top 25, I know, but the Honors College requires a 3.8 UW, which is similar to a T25 requirement. </p>

<p>For UMich, you’re fine because of how they calculate GPA. Other top schools, who knows, but to be on the safe side, think of 3 A-'s = 1 B. So a significant scattering of A-'s(6 or so) would be like a couple of B’s, which isn’t a deal-breaker but isn’t great either.</p>
