Sorry if this is a dumb question but what GPA do adcoms use when considering admission to these masters programs? Do they have a way to access to my GPA calculations on AADSAS or do they just use the GPA that is on my undergrad transcript? The reason I ask is because the GPA on my transcript is a 3.05 and on AADSAS is around a 2.8.
 
Depends on the SMP you are applying to. They all calculate them differently... well I'm sure some of them calculate them the same but you get the point. It is pretty confusing as most of them do not post how they break down your GPA. What I had to do was call... and even then I got some varying answers.

Best of luck to you! 🙂
