Hi

Im not too familiar with AADSAS yet (just finished my sophmore year) so I have the following question:

What does AADSAS consider (percentage wise) to be an A+, A, A-, B+,B, B-, etc, etc. If someone can just give me a table, that'll be great.

Secondly, are Canadian marks (eg. 80) not equivalent to American marks, when assigning letters (eg. A- = 80-84)

Thanks

For the first question A+ = 4.333 B = 3.000 C- = 1.666 D = 1 (from this info, I hope you can figure out the rest).

AADSAS does it like this: Count the total number of 'points' and divide by the number of total credits (It's that simple).

Total number of points: First note what grade you got in a class (say a C-), then convert that grade into a numerical value. (C- = 1.666). Then multiply this number by the number of credits your class was (for example, maybe 1 credit). Therefore, for this class, your 'point' is '1 times 1.666 = 1.666) Do this for each class to find 'total points'. Then, as stated above, divide this by the total number of credits you have taken.

Hope this helps!

And as for you second question - I have no clue! Sorry 🙁

Hey - no problem bro - I'm just trying to MAXIMIZE

People help me out when I have question (I return the favor by helping others out)

And hopefully, those 'others' whom I help out, will help those who initially helped me out

It's basically a cycle of good fortune!

Just another question;

I get the feeling (from reading a previous thread) that Dental schools consider Canadian gpa's (a person who did undergrad from a canadian school) to be lower than an American gpa (a person who did undergrad from an american school) if their gpa's are the same.

True or False

true or false (that's a fifty/fifty) 🙄

I'm gonna take my chances: TRUE

(am I right?) 😕

anyone else, have any thoughts?

I don’t think so man. How can they judge if Canadian schools are easier or harder then American? I mean they can’t even do that to the schools within the US. I know some schools that are exceptionally hard here and some that are not. I have been told by adcomms and dental students they really don’t care where you graduate from and how this reflects your GPA only that you do well at the school you attend.

The leveling component that is a reflection of your education would be the DAT. Like the SAT, the DAT is the indicator of your education. If you went to Harvard and received a 3.0 GPA and someone else went to a state school (not assuming all state schools are easy) and received a 4.0 GPA then both might do equally well on the DAT. That is why the schools consider both your GPA and your DAT scores.
