Serious question. How is that mathematically possible?
Colleges are now offering more than 4 points for “A”s now?

If you have to ask, you aren't smart enough to make above a 4.0 anyway.

LSU adopted the plus-minus system a few years back. For instance an A+ is worth 4.2 points and an A- is worth 3.8.

LSU does this dumb thing called the +/- grading system. Meaning an A+ is worth 4.3, an A is 4.0, and an A- is 3.7. Same for B's, C's, and D's. F's are just F's.

It actually was found to not change overall grade point averages much at all

isn't it used to promote the overachievers?

I wonder how the +/- scale would have affected my GPA.

He’s smart.

A+ is >97
A is 93-97
A- is 90-93
A is 93-97
A- is 90-93

My question is how does he make a 4.0 at all with basketball, lifting, and the fact that its pre-med.

By going into a shooting slump around test times. Seriously.

So stupid

It really is unbelievable.
I remember dropping out of comparative anatomy at LSU b/c of how much time I had to spend on it. If I was only taking 1 other class I coulda done it, but not a full load.
Dominique Homberger was no joke.
Hats off to Skylar!

It would have changed my grade a lot. I am a past master at barely eeking out a letter grade. All of my C’s were C minus. Both of my B’s were B minus, and well, that’s it.
I did hit some D’s and F’s square on.

I wish this was there when I was at LSU, I can't even count the near misses with several B+ and C+, that said, most of my A's would have probably been A- so I would have only went up slightly
