When people post their GPAs either on SDN or predents, which GPA do they use? ones with or without +/-??

I posted with +/- because it was the closest to my actual university GPA.

X3.

My school uses the +/- system as well.

My guess is that most would post the higher of the two.

until AADSAS stops using 4.3's for A+, the more relevant GPA is w/o.

this is because there are far too many schools that do not give A+'s.

Is this how the schools see it? If so, that's good news for me, my GPA jumps from 3.58 to 3.67 when using the w/o calculation (I have a lot more -s than +s).

Yes, that is what I have heard about how the schools look at it.

I just put what the GPA on my transcript says. Forget AADSAS, on the phone the rep, said the GPA's are different and may be slightly lower than whats on my transcript.......d-schools get the transcript anyway.

I'm guessing most people just post the highest one.

i posted the aadsas GPA with +/- even though my w/o +/- was higher AND my transcript GPA was higher just because my school used +/- and ultimately the aadsas GPA was being used to apply to schools.

I guess it just depends on the schools then. Most schools that I interviewed at seemed to care more about the +'s and -'s.
