Does anybody know which GPA each individual school looks at?
As in, hypothetically speaking, "UCLA" looks at without +/- rather than the +/- GPA.
I'm wondering because there is a big difference in my verified GPA's.

I've also been wondering the same thing. I guess it really depends on the schools since nobody has a definite answer. These are the versions I've heard so far though:

1. The dental school will honor the GPA system used by your respective universities, meaning if your college doesnt use +/-, then GPA w/o is the one they look at.

2. The dental school will choose the system that they use. For example, UCLA and UCSF both calculate GPA using +/- normally, so that will be their system of choice.

Hope it helps.
