so i'm guessing a lot of us just recently got our aadsas gpa's, like i did.

i assume that adcoms take into account different combos of gpa's. but which is more important, "gpa" or "gpa w/o." ie, if they have a cutoff gpa, which do they use?

my school of thought is that even tho "gpa" is more accurate, the adcoms may be more interested in more standardized gpa's. schools who use +/- can always convert to "gpa w/o." but schools that dont employ this system cant convert the other way around. so does this mean "gpa w/o" is more important?
 
I wish I new which carried more weight too. But to be safe, I'd just go with your lowest GPA when considering schools to apply to which betters your chances.
