<p>I’ve read comments by adcoms that say they consider A+'s A’s when recalculating GPA. Of course, being the sort of student that goes above and behind A-level work isn’t ever going to be a bad thing, especially if it boosts your GPA for ranking purposes. Compared to SATs, ECs, essays, and letters of rec, though, I imagine the value of an A+ versus an A is negligible.</p>
