What are quality points on the AADSAS application? I'm assuming they are another calculation based on grades, but does anyone know how these points are determined and what sort of bearing they have on the application?
Thanks

The quality points are what the class is worth if im not mistaken.. (the quality of it) if you take a 3cr class and get an A, it's not worth as much as a 4 credit class and get an A... therefore the quality of the 4cr A is worth more... a 3cr class and an A is worth 3x4=12qp (cr x points for A) and a 4cr class is worth 4x4= 16qp

The above poster is correct. Without quality points, GPA cannot be determined. Quality points are your letter grade times the credit hours of a course.

Are +'s/-'s part of the quality points? Do dental schools look at them?
