[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It is disappointing to see a report card of all As and Bs and have the minuses drop the GPA to 3.1 when it could have been say a 3.5. [/quote] I think you need a math refresher. Minuses are worth only 1/3 of a point less than the regular grade, so no number of minuses could drop you more than 0.33 GPA points. (sigh...do these kids learn/remember *anything*)? Signed, Ivy league STEM prof whose students grade grub about a minus (or going up from a B to a B+) all the time for this 1/3 of a point. And yes, many are pre-med. [/quote]
