Avg. gpa all applicants vs. admitted applicants

Hello!
I'm surveying the 2014 admission stats for optometry schools and they have a section labeled "avg. gpa all applicants/admitted applicants." What is the difference between those two?
For Puerto Rico it says 2.90/3.87, so does that mean those who applied had an average of 2.90 and those they actually admitted into the program had an average of 3.87?

Where are you looking at that information? I've just been using http://www.jmu.edu/iihhs/_files/ASCOProfile-of-the-Entering-Class-2013.pdf

Interesting, yes that's right, average GPA of all applicants vs. avg GPA of admitted students. Weird though for some reason I thought the average of admitted for IAUPR would be around 2.90 or generally on the lower end

Maybe local applicants who are actually Puetro Ricans have really high GPAs? Other than people with IAUPR as a last option they would be the most likely to apply there.

Oh okay I just wanted to make sure I was differentiating the two correctly. I don't see the point in posting all applicant gpa as I would assume most would be more concerned with admitted gpa

I would assume that is a typo. I'm pretty sure it's been around 3.1 for admitted the last few years.
