GPA Question

Hey guys,

As you all know aadsas calculates the gpa differently than your university. Aadsas counts every class attempted even if it was repeated. I have repeated 2 classes and had a significant increase in GPA. My question is do you think Dental Schools will look heavily on the college GPA if it is significantly better than the aadsas? I have a 3.5 at my university and from my own calculations with the "low grade classes" added in I would have a 3.2 through aadsas.

Thanks

The following was taken out of the aadsas guide book, please at least look up information you don't know before you advise someone, thank you. Again what do u guys think dental school favors more, just want to hear what people think about this.


AADSAS calculates your GPA and reports it in a number of ways:
• BCP GPA: All undergraduate courses identified on your transcript as Biology, Chemistry and Physics
are used in computing this GPA.
• Science GPA: All undergraduate courses identified on your transcript as Biology, Chemistry, Physics,
Math and Other Science is used in computing this GPA.
• Non-science GPA: All undergraduate courses not used in calculating the Science GPA are used to
compute this GPA.
• Undergraduate GPA: All courses for which undergraduate credit is received are used in computing this
GPA.
• Graduate GPA: All courses for which graduate credit is received are used in computing this GPA.
• Overall GPA: All courses-both undergraduate and graduate- are used to compute this GPA. (For
most dental school applicants who have not completed graduate courses, the overall GPA is the same
as the Undergraduate GPA).
• College/University GPA’s: GPA’s are reported for each college/university you have attended.
