Recently, I received an A- in a math class I feel I deserved an A. Unfortunately, the class was 94+ for an A which was not mentioned on the syllabus. How does the graduate committee view an A- compared to an A?
jtbell said:How much is this going to affect your GPA?
An A- is one letter grade lower than an A. It indicates a slightly lower level of mastery or understanding of the subject material compared to an A.
Yes, an A- is still considered a good grade. It is typically above average and indicates a strong understanding of the subject material.
Yes, an A- will have a slightly lower impact on your GPA compared to an A. A- is typically worth 3.7 points on a 4.0 scale, whereas an A is worth 4.0 points.
Grades are typically determined by a combination of exams, assignments, and class participation. However, each teacher or professor may have their own specific grading criteria.
It is possible to improve an A- to an A by earning a higher grade on future assignments or exams. However, it is ultimately up to the teacher or professor to decide the final grade for the course.
