AADSAS GPA Calculator 2026

Calculate your estimated ADEA AADSAS overall, science, BCP, other science, non-science, undergraduate, and graduate GPAs using the official AADSAS grade conversion rules.

AADSAS GPA Calculator

Estimate how ADEA AADSAS will standardize your coursework into semester hours and calculate overall, science, BCP, other science, non-science, cumulative undergraduate, and graduate GPA buckets.

This tool follows the published ADEA AADSAS rules: all graded attempts count toward GPA, quarter hours convert to semester hours using a 0.667 multiplier, and WF is treated as an F. Final verification can still recategorize courses.

AADSAS GPA rules used here

  • All graded attempts count. Repeats are not replaced or forgiven.
  • Quarter hours are converted to semester hours using the ADEA AADSAS factor of 0.667.
  • WF is treated as an F. Non-graded credits like P, S, CR, and W are excluded.
  • Science GPA includes biochemistry, biology, chemistry, physics, and other science.
  • Course subject decisions can still change during official verification if AADSAS reclassifies a course.

Graduate GPA

0 graded semester hours • 0 quality points

ADEA AADSAS reports graduate coursework separately, while the overall GPA includes it.

How This AADSAS GPA Calculator Works

This tool estimates how ADEA AADSAS will standardize your coursework when you apply to dental school. The goal is not to mirror your college transcript GPA. The goal is to help you approximate the application-service GPA that admissions committees actually review.

ADEA AADSAS uses standardized grade values, converts quarter hours to semester hours, and includes all graded attempts for repeated coursework. That is why your AADSAS GPA can differ from the GPA on your transcript.

What this calculator estimates

  • Overall GPA
  • Science GPA
  • BCP GPA for biochemistry, biology, chemistry, and physics
  • Other science GPA
  • Non-science GPA
  • Cumulative undergraduate GPA
  • Graduate GPA

ADEA AADSAS Rules Used In This Tool

This calculator is built around the published ADEA AADSAS guidance and Liaison help-center documentation used for verification.

Grade values

ADEA AADSAS converts transcript letter grades into numeric values before calculating GPA. Common examples include:

  • A and A+ = 4.0
  • A- = 3.7
  • B+ = 3.3
  • B = 3.0
  • B- = 2.7
  • C+ = 2.3
  • C = 2.0
  • D = 1.0
  • F and WF = 0.0

Repeated courses

If you retook a course, keep every graded attempt in the calculator. ADEA AADSAS does not honor school-level grade replacement or academic forgiveness when it builds your verified GPA.

Quarter hours

ADEA AADSAS converts quarter hours into semester hours using this factor:

  • 1.0 quarter hour = 0.667 semester hours

Non-graded credits

Credits without a standard grade, such as pass/fail or withdrawal, are generally excluded from GPA calculations. A notable exception is WF, which is treated as an F.

Science GPA vs. BCP GPA

One place applicants get confused is the meaning of science GPA.

  • Science GPA in ADEA AADSAS is broader. It includes biochemistry, biology, chemistry, physics, and other science.
  • BCP GPA is narrower. It includes biochemistry, biology, chemistry, and physics only.

That distinction matters because math, statistics, engineering, and certain health-science courses may land in other science rather than in the core BCP bucket.

Why This Matters For DAT Applicants

If you are preparing for the DAT, this calculator helps you answer a different question than a DAT score calculator.

  • A DAT score calculator helps you estimate exam performance.
  • An AADSAS GPA calculator helps you estimate how your academic record may look once standardized for dental school admissions.

Those are separate intents, and most applicants need both.

Final Check Before You Apply

Use this tool to estimate your GPA profile early, but still verify the following before submitting your application:

  • your course subject selections
  • your semester vs. quarter credit entries
  • every repeated course attempt
  • whether post-bacc and graduate coursework are categorized correctly

If a course title is vague, ADEA AADSAS can still reassign it during verification.
