How grades convert to points here
Whole letters only at Massachusetts Institute of Technology: A, B, C, D, F, with no plus or minus modifiers. That removes the 0.3-point gradations most calculators assume and makes each individual grade weigh more heavily on the average.
First-year students are graded Pass/No Record (P/NR) in the fall and IAP terms — a Pass equals C- or better and a failing performance produces 'No Record,' hiding the grade entirely from the official transcript; standard A-F grading begins in the spring of first year (sophomore year for GPA purposes).
Latin honors at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Massachusetts Institute of Technology does not award traditional Latin honors. That reflects a deliberate institutional position rather than an oversight — schools in this group generally argue that ranking students against each other distorts the point of the education.

The part students usually miss
MIT deliberately awards no Latin honors, no class rank, and no valedictorian for undergraduates, and computes GPA on an internal 5.0 scale (A=5) rather than the usual 4.0, which is converted to a 4.0-equivalent only for external reporting.
