Hello All
First I want to thank everyone on this forum. This is the most helpful forum I found on this web.
I just have a quick question about the category of GPA in the AADSAS application.
Would AADSAS consider that Macroeconomics/Psychology/Stat (in STAT dept)/Sociology in the non-science GPA cat. or other science cat ?

Thanks and GL
Michael

soooo.......the "science" gpa that we receive is actually the "BCP plus Other Sciences" courses?????

🙂

 

[marinojones]

also......what is the difference between aadsas grade and grade??

thanks everyone for the help.

addsas gpa includes grades of classes your replaced as well. for example.. if you get an F and then retake the class and get an A, your univ. grade will not reflect the F.. but, your addsas grade will.

So when schools refer to our "Science GPA" they're including ALL science courses and not just BCP?

If so I'm screwed.

I'm an engineering major, and I've had some pretty dismal grades in a number of those courses.

It just doesn't seem fair to me that they would weigh me against other people who don't have much other science outside of BCP.

BCP + all other science.

This is correct, science grade = Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Math and a handful of others listed in the instructions of the application.
