No.

All grades are standard grades except for A+s. A B+ is a 3.3; an A- is a 3.7.

The only weird one is an A+, which is counted (like an A) as a 4.0.

This is because grading standards in giving out A+'s vary wildly. Some professors just don’t give them; some professors give as many A+'s as A’s. For whatever reason, our college culture has an inconsistent paradigm regarding A+'s. For that reason, I believe it’s fair (although to my detriment) that A+'s are counted simply as 4.0’s.
