Can anybody validate this? I got this off of the UF advising website.

Academic Record: The AACOMAS grading system does not include grades for .5 values. If you received any + grades from UF, write in the numeric value. D+=1.5, C+=2.5, B+=3.5. Your courses will need to be categorized specifically according to the AACOMAS application instructions. AACOMAS will calculate your science, non-science, and overall GPA, and break it down by academic year. For repeated courses, need to be indicated if it was taken as an attempt to improve the previous grade.

I'm not exactly sure what your question is but if you went to a school where the grading system was on the .5, then you can enter them as a .5 on AACOMAS. I went to a school for a little while where was so and got to count my B+s as 3.5s rather than 3.3s.

AACOMAS: 3.0 = 80, 2.5 = 75, 2.0 = 70

TMDSAS: 3.0 = 80, 2.5 = 70, 2.0 = 70

AMCAS: same as AACOMAS

As you can see, the TMDSAS makes your GPA lower.

This is important if you are applying to TCOM.
