AADSAS GPA calculator

ADEA AADSAS converts each grade to a numeric value, multiplies it by the course's semester hours and divides your quality points by your attempted hours. All grades for repeated courses count, a WF counts as an F, and pass/fail and AP credit are left out. Its science GPA covers biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics and other sciences, and AADSAS lists math, calculus and statistics under other science. Its BCP GPA keeps only biology, biochemistry, chemistry and physics. The example transcript below gives 3.45 overall, 3.39 science and 3.35 BCP.

How does AADSAS calculate your GPA?

ADEA AADSAS converts each letter grade to a numeric value and multiplies it by the course's attempted credits to get quality points. Your GPA is total quality points divided by total attempted credits. Its own example: an A, B, C, D and F in 4, 3, 4, 3 and 3 credit courses give 36 quality points over 17 credits, a 2.12 GPA.

AADSAS reports a GPA for each school, each year, your cumulative undergraduate GPA (with post-baccalaureate courses) and an overall GPA that adds graduate courses, plus a GPA for each course subject category. This calculator gives the GPA of the courses you enter.

Science, BCP and non-science GPA

  • Science GPA: biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics and other science.
  • BCP GPA: biology, biochemistry, chemistry and physics only. AADSAS calls this category Biology/Biochemistry/Chemistry/Physics.
  • Non-science: everything else, including English, psychology, sociology and other behavioral sciences.

The big difference from other services is math. AADSAS lists mathematics, algebra, calculus and statistics under Other Science, so they count in your science GPA but not your BCP GPA. Nutrition, kinesiology, geology and engineering are other science too. If you're not sure which subject a course is, AADSAS says to go by the department that offers it, and its team corrects subjects during verification.

Retakes, pass/fail and quarter hours

  • Repeated courses: ADEA AADSAS does not recognize schools' grade replacement or forgiveness policies. All grades earned for repeated courses count.
  • Non-graded credits such as AP, pass/fail and satisfactory credits stay out of your GPAs.
  • A WF (withdrawn failing) counts as an F.
  • Quarter hours: AADSAS uses 1.0 quarter hour = 0.667 semester hours.

Questions people ask

Does math count in the AADSAS science GPA?

Yes. AADSAS puts mathematics, calculus and statistics in its Other Science category, which is part of the science GPA. Math is not part of the BCP GPA. On AACOMAS and CASPA, math counts as non-science.

What is the AADSAS BCP GPA?

It combines your biology, biochemistry, chemistry and physics courses. It leaves out other sciences such as math, nutrition and kinesiology.

Does psychology count as science on AADSAS?

No. Psychology and sociology are in AADSAS's Behavioral Sciences and Non-Science categories, not in the science GPA.

Does ADEA AADSAS replace retaken grades?

No. ADEA AADSAS does not recognize schools' forgiveness, academic renewal or grade replacement policies. All grades earned for repeated courses count in your GPA.

How does ADEA AADSAS convert quarter hours?

ADEA AADSAS calculates every GPA in semester hours, using 1.0 quarter hour = 0.667 semester hours. Enter quarter hours as your transcript shows them and this calculator converts them.
