I have a question about how to get a higher GPA.

I spoke with a dental admissions advisor at UoP and they said that when you submit your marks to that institute that calculates your GPA and then submits them to the dental universities that you want to apply to (I can't remember what institute or organization that was), but they said they average your grades if you've taken a course twice.

So what happens if you want to improve your GPA, since if you got a C+ the first time, an A the second time, so they'll probably give you a B overall for that course, and that doesn't improve your GPA that much?

What happens? Well, you grade doesn't improve that much, unfortunately. But it moves a tiny bit, at least.
