Question about the McGill "Dentistry GPA" vs. "Local GPA"

[RapsIn6ix2019]

When doing the academic workbook for McGill's application for FALL 2021 admission, what is the difference between the dentistry gpa calculated vs. the local gpa generated by the excel workbook? Anyone know what they look or how its viewed?

The dentistry gpa is your gpa converted to the McGill gpa. Local gpa is what your gpa is depending your university. They only evaluate the dentistry one because it’s on McGill gpa scale.

McGill's GPA is out of a 4.0 grade scale. Your local GPA may be out of a 4.3 grade scale. Typically, the conversion from a 4.3 to a 4.0 grade scale involves scaling any 4.3 grade points to a 4.0 grade point. McGill will look at the McGill converted GPA to weigh your application. I hope this helps you.
