Lots of inaccurate information in this thread.
I agree with @Midwestmomofboys post #5 above.
Post #3 is also correct, but post #1 is incorrect regarding LSDAS GPA calculations.
It is unfair, but LSDAS recognizes “A+” grades and awards 4.33 GPA points. Unfair because most colleges & universities do not offer any grade above an “A”.
