dentistrydmd Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 It means the minimum gpa for those applicants to their program was 3.60. But I think it may be indicating that the minimum gpa that people were interviewed at was that average because applicants doesn’t mean too much. If this is the case it is saying that it is not worth applying if you have a gpa below 3.60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly pretty confused. If you have 2 years of pre-dental studies, you calculate: (2 x average of the CORE courses) + (1 x average on lowest year out of the two) + (3 x average on best year) divided by 6 will give you your agpa for 2 years of studies. If you have 3 or more years of pre-dental studies, you calculate: (2 x average of the CORE courses) + (0 x average on lowest year) + (3 x average on best year) + (1 x remaining full academic year) divided by 6 (or 7,8, etc) Core courses mean the 5 sciences umanitoba asks for (Bio,chem,phys,orgo,biochem) I hope this makes sense!!

My school gives our letter grades; how would I convert those to numbers? Also, it says “divide by 6, 7, 8 etc.” , I assume that’s the number of classes taken during the year? For example, (2 x average of the core courses) means the core courses GPA. So at university of manitoba, A+=4.5 A=4.0 B+=3.5 B=3.0 ,and so on. If you search umanitoba gpa calculator, you will be able to enter in your letter grades and it'll spit out your gpa in numbers so that way you'd be able to determine your gpa!
