Just a quick question? I was looking at my AADSAS application and they (finally!) calculated my GPAs.

What's the difference between the GPA and the GPA w/o? My grades are most certianly way higher on the second one as opposed to the first.

Thanks!
 
How long did it take them? Thanks.

GPA is just the normal GPA from your college but GPA w/o is your GPA without + or -. That means they change grades like B- to B and B+ to just B. It is so that they can more easily compare your GPA to schools that don't use the + and -.
 
how is the overall GPA determined. Is it just you BCP plus other sciences divided by two? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
 
Haha. Okay thanks! I submitted like very end of May. Maybe the 27th or 28th? And I just got them back around the 30th of June. So about 4 weeks like they promised. 😛
