Hey guys,
AADSAS just finishing reviewing my transcripts. I was confused when I looked at the format with which the reported the grades. There are two GPA's: GPA and GPAw/o. I was wondering what this means. Is it that they are reporting my GPA with or without the AADSAS +/- grades. If so, why are they doing that. My school does have a +/- grading system. Any comments? Thanks

I dont think many schools count A+'s as 4.33. They only give you 4 points for an A or A+. AADSAS converts the A+'s to give you 4.33 which raises your GPA if you have A+'s....so the w/o is without conversion (whatever your GPA shows up on your transcript) and w/ meaning the conversion of the +'s...

Im a little confused about how to input my grades on AADSAS. If my school used + - system...what grade do I choose for the AADSAS grade?

 

[Jaylee777]

for example...if my transcript says A- I put A- in the grade box but do I put A or A- in the AADSAS grade box?

Enter exactly what you received ( +, -, or not) for any part of the application and AADSAS takes care of everything else.

In addition to his question, Which do the schools look at the GPA or the GPA w/o and when you guys share your stats (GPA), which one are you listing. I always thought they looked at the normal GPA but the other day I was talking to Creighton and in order to verify I was who I was they read me back my stats. When they came to my GPA's, they quoted my GPA w/o.
