I know this may sound like a ******ed question, but I just looked at my aadsas gpas right now. It has column for GPA and then another column for GPA w/o. What does GPA w/o mean, and is that the one dental schools focus on? I never focused on it before, but now i'm getting more nervous each day about whether I will get accepted or not.

That's your GPA without +/-. So B-, B, B+ are all the same grade in that format. It helps compare you as an applicant to another applicant that may not have the +/- system at their university. I'm not sure which one most schools look at. I assume that they look at with +/- because I *think* most schools use it. However, what do I know? I'd rather have w/o because my GPA's are higher in that catagory :laugh:
