A+s and applying to Business School

Hey I haven’t found a concise answer online about A+s. I have 10 A+s on my college transcript and my school considers them a 4.3 GPA. I know that law schools considers A+s to be a 4.33 GPA in their calculation of UG GPA. 
 

Will business schools consider my A+ a 4.3 gpa if my college does?

 

there is 0% chance you are going to a good school if they have grading that gives 4.3 gpa grades on a 4.0 scale. 


However, I would not say anything and just list your total GPA. WIll be hilarious if you get away with it

Business school isn't really about grades beyond a certain point. Either way you'll check off the box on GPA. 

GPA isn't really a 'check off the box' kind of thing for applying to B school. Either you have a good GPA or you don't. If you don't have a good GPA, you have to get a good score on the GRE/GMAT and have good recommendations. She hasn't said anywhere on this thread if she has a good cumulative GPA or not.

I mean A+ is 97+%. To get a 97 you basically have to be a perfectionist tbh so I really doubt she crashed in her other classes.

What's generally considered a good GPA for a top tier bschool? Above 3.75 (assuming undergrad was at a target)?

 

To answer Op’s question (admitted to b school; went to school with 4.3 grading if A+) I would put your GPA on a true 4.0 scale, so remove the A+ effect, for both your resume and your application. Leave your unofficial transcript as is (obviously). Optionally in the additional information section you can add a note that explains it as well.

 

From my understanding, my resume gpa reflects what is on my transcript. On the actual application section - it depends if they have a conversion chart that all applicants universally use. If there isn’t one - then I assume I include my gpa that appears on my transcript unless there’s a universal conversion chart that must be followed (like how there is for law school applications).
