How do schools exactly view your app?

When dental schools are reviewing your application, do they view your application in the exact format as how you originally filled it out? I'd assume that they viewed it in PDF form and not in physical form (mailed out), correct?
Also, does AADSAS attach the original transcript you sent from your school onto your application? I'm asking because my GPA on my school's transcript is slightly higher than the AADSAS calculated GPAs.
Thanks!

Click on dental school designations (on the checklist, not on the right hand side) and click on the binoculars. That's how they see your application.
Schools can opt in and out of having an actual paper copy of applications.. Although Im sure most schools are paperless nowadays

I'm not positive but I've heard they attach a copy of the transcript. But I'm nearly 100% positive that schools won't care what GPA is on your transcript. The point of AADSAS calculating your gpa is so that every applicant is on a leveled playing field.

This is what I thought.....

But some AADSAS guy, told me that schools see our application in a similar manner as we do, meaning, by sections.....

So, based on what he told me, that PDF of the app, may not be the way schools see it....

The PDF is in sections though
