It's an A, but not a perfect one. I just got my grades for my grad studies and of the two classes, I got an A and an A-. this brings my total and final GPA to an A, but not a perfect A. So that's what's gonna be on my final record. I've been really picky about my grades since entering a grad program. Undergrad was a whole different story. Dismal grades. So I see making the grade in grad school as a sort of trying to redeem myself. This is actually my third A-. Is this something to cry about? An A- in grad school is close to a B+, the minimum passing grade.
