2 College 2 GPAs; One bad one is ok?

<p>After high school I went to a college for a Semester and had GPA of 2.74. I then transfered to another college for the 2nd semester of freshman year and received and also took summer classes and now have a GPA of 3.32. My current college does not factor into the GPA the grades you transfer. I want to transfer again, but am not sure how to gauge my GPA? As all the school I want to apply to require you to send them all transcripts of all colleges attended. So is admission going to view me as a 3.32 student a 2.74 student or the average of the two which makes me 3.05 student?</p>

<p>It breaks down like this: 1st Semester Freshman (University non ivy an overpriced bs school). 1C 1A 2B- 1C+</p>

<p>I did really well at my current University (State School) Fall 2nd Semester after December Break: 1B- 2B 1A- 2A
I plan on taking more class at state for the Fall 2008 semester as a Sophomore and transfer for Spring 2009?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Whens a better time to transfer (easier to get in; less competition) Fall or Spring?</p>

<p>They will take all of your transcripts and then calculate them using their system.</p>

<p>I had a 3.0 every semester except one semester I got a D in one class I took during summer when they recalculated it it came out to a 2.5 and now I can never go to college. Oh well.</p>

<p>please tell me your joking. because I tried so hard to get a good GPA :(</p>

<p>Any other people have anything else to say?</p>

<p>The schools you apply to will see which courses are transferable and, as already stated, will use their own system to calculate your GPA. They will view ALL courses you took in any college when doing this.</p>

<p>There is a statute of limitations - albeit informal. Often, if you have been out of school for a long time the older the grades are the less they MIGHT matter. </p>

<p>For example, if you went to the first college 15 years ago and now, suddenly and at a different institution, you have great grades you can address this maturation in an essay. You can deal with it a little easier. However, it doesn't just go away.</p>
