Members don't see this ad.

😕 When my gpa gets recalculated with adea, do they use the (quality points)/(gpa hours) system to come up with the GPA? It would really help, im trying to figure out my overall GPA to see if its worth applying. Thanks!

Yes, they do. And they calculate it with and without '+-'s.

my school doesnt go by the letter system, just a straight forward number system, ie 4.0 3.5 3.0, so does that mean my grades will be exactly the same as it is on my transcript and i wont have to worry about the +/- system?

ya, based on what you said i believe it will translate into whatever it is on your transcript...unless you have repeated a course (they will avg the two grades).

AADSAS will have two sets of GPA's. (1) Is calculated using exactly what you received in the course. For example, if you got a 3.4, 3.6, 3.9 it will be calculated as a 3.4, 3.6, and 3.9 respectively. (2) The other way using (+) and (-), they will take your 3.4 and round it down to 3.3, take your 3.6 and round down to 3.5, take your 3.9 and round down to 3.7. They only use .3, .5, .7, and whole number designations like 2.0, 3.0, 4.0.

Hope this made sense...

wait a second, so if i get a 3.5 in a class (we only have a 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, no 3.333 or 3.666), does that mean ill geta 3.5 for BOTH the regular aadsas gpa calculation and the +/- calculation? i THINK 3.5 is what they call an AB here, and on the grade conversion chart thingy on the adea website it says an AB is a 3.333 with the +/- system...if thats the case thatd suck balls big time

okay, got another question...lets say that you've attended 3 different institutions. will adea add all the grades from all the institutions together and report 1 GPA or will they report GPAs from each institutions seperately?

They report each institutuion seperately. Then they report the overall from the three institutions combined.
