I did not get in last year with a gpa of 6.95. There could be some type of 2nd order rank that was used or there were just many 7's
How can? Somebody said the Griffith Dent 2016 cutoff for non-standards was about 6.75.

I'd be interested to know why this was, given that two applicants posted that they got in with a 6.71. Perhaps they were rural applicants and didn't say so, or maybe Griffith does their own weighted GPA calculations which places the most emphasis on the most recent year of completed study. Did you have lower grades in the final year of your masters degree, which would support the latter theory?I did not get in last year with a gpa of 6.95.

Griffith recently changed their dentistry course from a Bachelor of Oral Health in Dental Science + Diploma of Dentistry to a Bachelor of Dental Health Science + Master of Dentistry. I believe with this change, they reduced the number of positions and therefore the cutoff increased, although seeing a 6.71 get in over a 6.95 contradicts this theory. Regardless of this, the cutoff changes every year, so the 2016 cutoff was most likely different to the 2017 cutoff - I gave the 6.75 as a rough value for 2016 admissions because I know multiple people who got in with this GPA.How can?

I contacted Griffith University and all they said was the quality of the applications last year was absolutely crazy and that they did not expect it.

I was on paging dr. and a gpa 7 did miss out. which shows that last year it was very competitive. I was reading somewhere and they said a gpa of 7 does not equal to a 99.95 and instead its more like 99.65. It was someones quote though so I do not know the legitimacy of his commentDoes anyone know of any GPA 7's missing out in 2017?

Was your GPA calculated with the following scale:
85+ = GPA 7
75+ = GPA 6
65+ = GPA 5
And then averaged?? Because I know some schools have an 80+ as a GPA 7. And I know Griffith uses a scale as above^
Qtac told me my GPA for Griffith was 6.95. but with my calculations using 80 as GPA 7 I am also placed correctly into 6.95. where did you hear that Griffith used 85 as 7 GPA?

It now appears to be the case that if your academic records show a 82/HD then the other unis (not just Griffith) will take it as a HD. They would disregard the 82 despite them using 85+ for HD.
That's the problem. We do not know what this secondary factor is. It exists but they won't tell usI am very nervous. I have a PhD in microbiology. I guess I am GPA7. I thought gpa was the only filter. What else will they consider?
Can someone please clarify for me before I accept my offer... I got an offer to study a Bachelor of Dental Health Science and I read that this is the only way into griffiths Master of Dentistry. Does this mean everyone that passes Dental Science (first 3 years) automatically progresses to the next 2 years or is there no security?
Thanks p.s. I Have already completed a year of uni

Having had a look at the GPA cut-offs previously it seems those guaranteed entry would be around the 6.9-7.0 mark. Would someone with a 6.56-6.65 stand a chance?
Anything is possible, but i would imagine 6.75 being the minimum. Its also much easier to get in undergad.
