<p>Is it true that the University of Chicago doesn’t award A+s?</p>
<p>And I have a non-academic letter of recommendation from a politician (whom I interned with). Do you recommend I send it in as well? There is no place on the common app website so I’m assuming that the politicians office would just send it to UChicago manually? From what I can tell, it’s a pretty strong letter.</p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate any responses as soon as possible, since I am applying early action!
Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Here is the grading scale used at the undergraduate and graduate levels at UChicago (College grading is on the left hand side): [Office</a> of the Registrar](<a href=“http://registrar.uchicago.edu/students/gradingsystems.shtml]Office”>http://registrar.uchicago.edu/students/gradingsystems.shtml)
An “A+” is not a necessary distinction as the grade point value for an A+ and an A grade are the same, at 4.0. </p>
<p>You are welcome to submit one additional letter of reference from someone who knows you or your work personally. You may have the person who wrote your letter mail it directly to our office.</p>
