all depends on which university/state etc...some universities throw marks..like everyone scoring more than 75% 80% in bds as well..and in some even getting 65 is considered to be very good...so gpa depends on that...as well but without any back logs and 61.8% most probabaly you will have a very good gpa ...may be more than 3.5 ..so relax
 
Hey Thank u so much....its so nice of you to respond immediately...u really relieved the tension out of me🙂
 
Actually m from Andhra Pradesh and i graduated from NTR university of health sciences
 
I have a gpa of 2.97(low),can some body please tell me how low this score is and what can i do to improve it.
 
Score is not ideal but you still have a chance. Do as many research projects, volunteer camps, pass both NBDE and score high on TOEFL. With some hard work you can suceed

Hello optident,
Even i agree with gracey 14.
Try getting your GPA evaluated by WES. You can send those reports to schools that accept WES reports. Hope this helps.

ntruhs...you may get around 3.10 to 3.30.....out of the 150 total marks if you get more that 95 marks you will be getting "A" grade...94 and less will be "B"....GPA is given for a total of 19 subjects. Lets say you get 50% A grades and %0 percent B grades...then probable GPA will be 3.4 to 3.6....you can calculate it like that...but don't forget , if you think you deserve more GPA then you can request ECE to reevaluate for free with in a span of first 6 months....My suggest would be ECE evaluation is more useful than WES....All colleges accept ECE and ADA too requires ECE.....

Hey drindia,
Dental schools look for a Gpa above 3 and in your case there's nothing to worry. Hope this helps.
 
its not excellent but its fair...not bad at all...most require 3.0 so ur definitely safe

Most require 3? On which school website have you read that. Majority of schools require at least a 2 and some 2.5
