Admissions Insight
Dental schools place heavy emphasis on the BCP GPA to verify you can handle the rigorous hard-science curriculum. Math and computer science classes do NOT buffer your BCP GPA like they do for medical school.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is BCP GPA for dental school?
BCP stands for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. ADEA AADSAS explicitly calculates a standalone BCP GPA for dental school applicants to isolate your performance in the core hard sciences, removing the 'padding' effect of easier math or non-science courses.
Does math count towards BCP GPA?
No. Unlike medical school (AMCAS) which uses a 'BCPM' GPA (including Math), dental school (AADSAS) explicitly excludes Math and Computer Science from the BCP GPA. Math is calculated under your 'Other Science' GPA.
What is a competitive BCP GPA for AADSAS?
A highly competitive BCP GPA for dental school is a 3.5 or higher. The national average for accepted dental students hovers around a 3.45 to 3.55 BCP GPA. Falling below a 3.0 BCP GPA makes it significantly harder to secure an interview without a massive DAT score.
How do I calculate my AADSAS BCP GPA?
Assign a standard 4.0 scale point value to your grades (A=4.0, B=3.0, etc). Multiply the grade value by the credit hours for every course strictly classified as Biology, Chemistry, or Physics. Sum those total points and divide by your total BCP credit hours.
