<p>This may be a very simple question, If you have a 97 in a class, does that raise your GPA higher opposed to a 95 in a class. Or is it if you just earn an A, then 4.0 is added to your GPA?</p>
<p>there is no difference between a 97 and a 95. an “A” is simply an “A” (4.0). however, some schools distinguish between A’s and A-'s. (i.e A = 4, A- = 3.5 or 3.33.). also, earning a 97 instead of a 95 will also help you get school awards (i.e highest gpa in class, department awards…however, they don’t really matter that much).</p>
<p>in simpler terms: you just earn an A, and then 4.0 is added to your gpa.</p>
<p>An “A” is equivalent to a 4.0 while an “A-” is a 3.7. A “B+” is a 3.3. A “B” is a 3.0. It continues to go down like that. Therefore a 95 is no different then a 97 on this type of scale.</p>
<p>stupid question, depends on your school-- you should already know this by now</p>
