I'm curious what the grading scales are at everyone's schools. My school is:

95-100 = A (4.00)

93-94 = A- (3.67)

91-92 = B+ (3.33)

87-90 = B (3.00)

(minimum passing of C is 79%)

After a few Google searches, I feel like this is a pretty tough scale. I only had two pre-reqs this semester and I am really close to 95 on both of them. A&P I had 94.92 last time I checked, but my final just posted as an A. Psychology I figure my final is 94.88, but the prof has yet to post the final grades so I'm not sure she going to round up or not!

Anyway then I'm looking online today and it seems like most schools give you an A for 93% and above - that extra 2% would actually help so much. 95 is tough. And at my school the C kids need a whopping 5% more to get that passing grade.

So just curious what scale everyone else has?

94-100 is an A for me. And there is no rounding :(

Standard grading scale for pre-req courses was 90-100% - A, etc., not until actual nursing school is our grading scale like yours. Interesting that they did that for the pre-reqs too, they are really making sure to take the most competitive candidates it looks like. Good luck to you!
