<p>Also, the A- to A+ is weighted differently than the others – anything in the A- range is a 3.7. All As and A+s are both weighted as a 4.0 (i.e. no extra weight given for A+). This means if you make an A-, it’s numerically impossible to get that 4.0. I doubt there are hardly any students at UVA who have a perfect 4.0, but that’s simply speculation on my part. Grad schools are aware of UVA’s scale, so it shouldn’t hinder you in the admission process when compared to a student from a school where all As are weighted as 4.0 (example – TAMU). Also, for those interested in med school, all med schools will convert all undergraduate transcripts to the same scale as UVA (AMCAS).</p>
