Just figured out that AADSAS calculated my GPA wrong.

I submitted my application about a month ago and I didn't think that they would calculate GPA incorrectly so didn't look into the details, such as units calculated. But I had some time today and was looking at the details of the grades calculated on AADSAS, and it seems like they didn't take all the BCP courses into account when they calculated my BCP gpa. It's short by couple units. I also checked if AADSAS changes any of the course names, but they didn't. BCP courses are pretty obvious that they are BCP courses on my transcript.
I have been receiving "App complete, Under Review" emails from most schools.. should I call on Monday anyways? My BCP GPA is short by 0.4 when I calculated it myself.

You will FOR SURE not get in because of this ...

in all seriousness might be worth a call to make sure everything is right. TMDSAS calculated my GPA lower than what was on my transcript because I had a Q dropped 1 class and repeated the first organic chemistry. It was like 0.09 difference

I know you are kidding...but a .4 difference?!?! So instead of a 3.7 its like a 3.3?! If so I would be stressing out too!

Are they not using +/- and you are or something?
I'd make a list of all your bcp courses and call and see what they are missing

Please let them know that they calculated it wrong. I actually will go back now and look at my own stuff as well. Many schools have cut offs as a practical matter. If you go through and look at the ADEA guidebook at admissions statistics many schools do not admit anyone with a sGPA of less than 3.0 when you look at the 5th to 95th range. The will admit someone who is right at that threshold but they don't go under it. 0.04 can make a difference to someone close to that cutoff. By double bring attention to the mistake you are helping others by bringing attention to the issue which will make it more likely to get fixed.

So much for making your list and checking it twice

I had this exact same issue but with my science gpa. Thanks for bringing this up, now I know I am not crazy. Please keep us updated on how you handled it!
