AADSAS GPA vs Transcript

My GPA calculated by AADSAS is lower than the GPA on my transcript.
Do dental schools look at the transcript or just the application from AADSAS?

They will only look at the application from AADSAS as everyone is held to the same standards more or less. Your GPA on your transcript may be unique to your school in the way that it is calculated.

AADSAS uses specific weighting for grades which is probably different from the system your school uses.
