I was thinking.. different schools have different gpa scales for grades.. For example, the school i attended never had the +/- system until this year ( i graduated a year ago so it sure didn't help me), meaning if you made a 81 or 89 in a class, that's still just a B. means is a 3 on a 4 pt scale.. But other schools have it where a 88 is consider an A- or something where it is a 3.5 out of 4... . and 81 would be like a B- or something and it is a 3 out of 4.
Do dental schools take that into consideration when looking at applicant's gpa (i have made tons of 88, 89s during my undergrad) so.. that explains y my gpa is lower. I mean thats kinda unfair. . . 😎
-which system did your school use?
And shouldn't that mean DAT scores should be weighted more when looking at applicants. its more fair to look at compared to gpa b/c everyone in the nation are on the same scoring scale? right?
plz give me some feedback😱
