Dr Pepper Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Hey do u guys know how GPA is calculated for dental schools in the us? depends on which school you go to...because your school may give a different letter grade than others for the same numerical grade I think in general your letter grades get converted to an equivalent GPA on a scale of 4.0 A=4.0 B=3.0 C=2.0 D=1.0 etc I think they have a chart on AADSAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Pepper Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 do they take cGPA for all years completed? Yes, except a few I think that may emphasize your upper years more, and consider the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazaag Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 My gpa on AADSAS was almost a point higher than my Canadian GPA. To secure a spot in the US you need to apply as early as June or July and already have your DAT scores ready. If you do so and have a gpa of 3.4 or higher..you re guaranteed an in. Only issue would be finances! Banks refused to finance me without a super rich cosigner. Gluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooled2 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 yea my first 2 years were really bad so I was kinda banking on the states for some reassurance. But i plan to have a good trend, good 3rd, 4th, and extra 5th year, solid DAT score and hopefully they will accept me! mazaag: which schools did u apply to? Thanks guys for this wonderful info! I love these forums they are so helpful for newbs like me haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Pepper Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 If you get around 90+ avg (or at least 85+) in your 3rd and 4th yr you will have a shot at UWO! I think a few other schools also have best 2 yr policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
