Which dental schools do not require gpa for international trained dentists ? Or we dont need it at all ?

I have a 3.5 GPA, mostly due to messing up my first semester of undergrad (C in gen chem I, which I believe I made up with an A- in gen chem II, an A- in orgo I, and looking like an A in orgo II), but I definitely have a pretty significant upward trend. I also have 45 shadowing hours, 150+...

I was browsing on ADEA Dental School Explorer and schools like Harvard etc. had GPA's above 4.0 for their 95th percentile. I was wondering how that's possible? Are A+'s still counted as a 4.3, or are they counted as a 4.0? It seems their data is recent from 2017-2018

Is it bad that my sGPA is almost .2 higher than my cGPA? For reference, my sGPA is a 3.71 and my cGPA is a 3.55. However, I have strong upward trend from 3.4/3.6/4.0 in increasingly harder classes (ex: Orgo). Does this look okay to adcoms?

I am a pre med college student (Biology major) and so far I only have 1 C on my college transcript from an environmental science class. The class was really hard; I had about a 79.69 in the class but my professor refused to round my grade up to a 'B'. All my other grades have been A's and B's...

What I mean by this: Do you use the cGPA you had when applying to schools, or can it be calculated using an updated cGPA, such as after another semester? Another way to look at it: Should you stick to one LizzyM Score, or should you recalculate each time after updating your cGPA, such as after...
