The grade drop-down has a wide range of grades to accommodate different systems (that vary by school, state, country, etc.,) to make it as easy as possible for students to reflect what is on their grade report/unofficial transcript.
Colleges understand that some systems only go up to a certain level, e.g., "A", even though there are other values on the drop-down.
Please select the grades that match what is on your grade report/unofficial transcript.
Letter Grades:
Letter grades are typically presented as 'A+', 'A', 'A-', 'B+', 'B', 'B-', and so forth.
Number Grades:
Number grades are typically based on a whole-number scale from 0 to 100. If your school uses numbers with decimals (e.g., 89.5), select 'Decimal Grades'.
Letters and Numbers:
Choose this option if your transcript shows a combination of letter and number grades.
Decimal Grades:
If your transcript contains numeric grades with decimals (e.g., 89.5), select this option.
Narrative/Descriptive:
If you attended high school or secondary school outside of the U.S., you may select this option if your transcript contains a non-standard grading system (e.g., Excellent, Satisfactory, Poor). Record the grades as they are shown on your transcript or score report.
Tip: 💡If you are unable to record or save your grade for a course, please return to the Enter High Schools screen to confirm that you have selected a grade scale.
