Hello everyone! I’m currently a sophomore at a Canadian university and I have been researching the various dental schools in the US. Since it’s extremely competitive to get admission in a Canadian dental school, going to the States for education will likely be my backup. Honestly, I would prefer going to a graduate school in States than in Canada. However, I’m kind of confused by how the AADSAS calculates GPA. So what if the grading is done by letter grades, would the AADSAS just convert that letter grade to a GPA on their scale? What if the grades are shown as a percentage on the transcript? Several universities in Canada are different in how they display grades on a transcript.
Are there any specific tips for Canadian applicants, or just things that we should know? I’m sure a lot of other people are in the same boat as me and this will help them out as well.
What about ECs? I’m aware that some dental schools in the States have shadowing requirements, but other than that and volunteering, what unique activities did some of you guys do?
Thanks to everyone who takes the time to reply, I really appreciate the community here.
