Canadian GPA Conversion?

I'm a Canadian Student interested in dental school in the states. I'm in second year right now so I won't be applying this cycle (probably next cycle). My school currently uses a 4.3 system (A+=4.3, A=4.0, A-=3.7.....) so I was wondering how AADSAS would convert this into a 4.0 system. Is a Canadian A treated the same as an A from a US School? Thanks!

same thing with no +/- i believe.

So an A+ is just an A.

In fact, AADSAS uses a 4.3 system.

So my Canadian GPA would be the GPA shown on AADSAS? Because in Canada an A+ is 90+, A is 85-85, etc. and I know that it is different in the states

Which Canadian school do you attend?

They won't ask you for numbers. They will ask you to put the letter grade. So, if you put A+ they will count it as 4.3. They won't ask if it was a 90 or a 98. So, you pretty much have an advantage over us here. A+ is 97+.

AADSAS uses the OMSAS conversion table to convert all Canadian University grades to a 4.0 scale. The 4.0 grades are then converted to the AADSAS 4.3 scale.

The table can be found here. https://www.ouac.on.ca/guide/omsas-conversion-table/

You can confirm this with AADSAS by giving them a call, I have asked them this question many times.

Thanks! How does the 4.0 OMSAS scale get converted into the 4.3 scale?
