It was not that she was failing, she was carrying a pesky A- and she finally made to a strong A. I think in college an A- is 3.7 and an A is 4.0. Not sure if her school gives any difference in weight for A+ and A, so that may not an advantage. But in law school there is a difference between a 3.7 average and a 4.0 average.

<p>Law school admissions recalculates GPA; that method may be different from what a college uses to calculate GPA. For example, an A+ counts as 4.33 for law school admissions, but counts the same as an A at 4.00 at many colleges.
