hey guys, my current gpa is at a 3.39 right now but i received two D's freshman year (which i retook to and get A's). However, this lowers my AADSAS gpa to about a 3.23. how bad does this really look to d-shools considering my AADSAS gpa is a lot lower than the one stated on my transcript? i feel like this will be the first thing they see and just throw the app into the rejection pile. the only thing that i feel that may save me right now are my DATs which are at a 21/20/20
 
I also have a similar question Igot a b- and retook it then got an A so therefore when AADSAS calculates my gpa they calculate the overall gpa and do they also calculate an overall science gpa including all math/bio/chem/physics ive taken ? or do they just calculate BCP-which would be bio chem and physics? if they calculate BCP seperately does that include all the different types of bios or just the first two ones for example Fundamentals of Bio 1 and 2 or would Genetics and Microbiology also be included?

as for the response to your gpa question- you have good DAT scores and i really wouldn't worry much im sure your application isn't going in the rejection pile your much better off then i am!

i'm fairly certain that AADSAS calculates overall, science, and bcp. the bcp would include any bios, chems and phys classes and WOULD include upper level courses including genetics and microbio
