At Columbia you can score an A+ which corresponds to a 4.33. So you can graduate with a 4.33/4.0 GPA [1]. Comparing GPAs across Universities is just pointless.

- sudosysgen 4y agoWouldn't that just be 4.33/4.33? My university has a similar system, with A=4 and A+=4.3, it's just that it's written as out of 4.3
