<p>Person A gets a 97-99% in a class
Person B gets a 100% in a class</p>
<p>Does it matter?</p>
<p>I really do wonder as to how we have all yet to go insane because of CC. </p>
<p>Depends on your rank.</p>
<p>If your school calculates class rank using percent grades, it might be the difference between valedictorian and salutatorian or something. Which is essentially no difference at all.
Other than that, no. My school only records letter grades on transcripts…97% and 100% (and 94%, for that matter) are both just recorded as As.</p>
<p>(Personally, if I saw that someone had a 100% in a class I would assume there was a lot of grade inflation, more so than I would if they had a 99%. Which is illogical, but still.)</p>
<p>That one percentage point makes all the difference</p>
