[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone know what to select for grading system for the UC Application. I mean the education section where the applicant enters the name of the High School and the grading system the high school uses.

If you select "ABCDF," then it won't let you input +/- for the grades, so every A- becomes an A and does not match the transcript. Concerned, my kid wrote the UC App Help desk and they said select "Other" and put in exactly what the transcript says. So kid went to change the app and then got a Warning message that made her think her original choice was the right one: 
Warning
Please review the list of grading systems and select "Other" only if you
do not see your school's grading system. (*If you receive "A B C D F"
with plus or minus grades, you should select "A B C D F" as the grading
system. UC does not recognize plus and minus grades*).

When she followed up with the Help people, they said to use Additional Comments to put in the + and - grades. ???

This has to be a very common question. I don't understand why there is conflicting advice. Can someone advise?

I have a daughter at UCLA. They don’t have pluses or minuses. This is very clear. An A- becomes an A. A B+ becomes a B. Understand? [/quote]
