Kind of a noob question here, but what are the different GPA's I hear people referring to on the forum (BCP, sGPA, uGPA etc...) ? I assume these are all different GPA calculations that are used for dental school admissions? Can somebody let me know what courses each of these GPA's includes and which is MOST importantly considered for admissions purposes?

Thanks!
