Confused about calculating BCP GPA

Members don't see this ad.

So I was a bit shocked to learn that while my culm/scie gpa is around 3.5-3.67, my BCP might be a freaking 2.8-2.9. Unless I'm calculating something wrong...

I went here: http://www.adea.org/dental_educatio...tructions/Documents/2011 GPA Calculations.pdf

and I'm still a bit confused.. So say my school says A- is a 3.7. Does the app have their own method of what an A- is?

Also, is there any excel files floating around that can calculate BCP GPA's?

bcp gap includes any bio (micro genetics, anatomy so on), chem and physcis
if you didnt do well in these classes
it is possible that your bcp gpa is significantly lower than your cumul. gpa..

nvm... i used the amcas calcutor to convert quarter to semester, and it turned out to a 3.3-3.4.. phew.. i had A/B's' and one C so i was shocked that it turned out so low..

all in all, it'd still be nice if there was a dentistry gpa calc excel around here.

Just make an excel spreadsheet- GPA calculations are pretty straightforward.
