I had 2 F's as well. I heard someone saying that AADSAS counts them against your GPA even if you retook the class.
If you retake a course, AADSAS will calculate both GPA. Say for example, I got an F in a 3 unit class the first time and retake it and get an A. The average of the grades will be a C, but the total units will be 6.
By the way, although A- on AADSAS is 3.667, its B+ is 3.333 so the .33 you lose from 3.7 will be somewhat compensated by the 3.333.

Ah crap I was afraid of that. Thanks for the info though.
Yes is that is the grade you got for the class the first time around. If a B- is what you got taking the class for a second time then the 2 grades would be averaged.
My school does too, but it also counts a B+ as 3.3, not 3.33 like stated above in AADSAS. So in the end, it tends to balance out and I didnt notice any difference.
However if all you earned all As and A-s with nothing lower, then you may get a slight dip.
