Colleges look at G.P.A. and in terms of that, a B+, B, or B- are all with 3 grade points. Or an A+, A, or A- is all with 4 grade points. So basically, the + and - don't matter at all. Just the letter.

No, a GPA is calculated using the + and -. For example, a B+ is a 3.3, not a 3.0. Go to the following link and you'll see what I mean when you plug in your grades. Whatever credit hour number you put in (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) just keep it consistent for all of the grades you're using; that is, if all of the grades are equal.

They are important only in their contribution to your overall GPA/average. For most colleges, unless you're completely on the fence for them, they look for the GPA and standardized test scores to get your foot in the door. Thus, their "point values" are more important collectively than the grades themselves. At this point, colleges aren't looking for someone completely specialized in one area of knowledge, especially for undergraduate, so they hardly ever delve into specific grades.
