<p>Will my community college GPA transfer to the UW, or will I have to start fresh?</p>
<p>I have just 2.5 weeks left at my CC, and i soooo don't want to study hard. I will certainly get everything above 3.0, but if it doesn't make sense to try to get higher grades, I will just relax before my official break :)</p>
<p>Both.</p>
<p>Your community college gpa will be your “transfer gpa”</p>
<p>WHICH WILL NOT COUNT toward your UW GPA</p>
<p>Your gpa at UW will NOT take into account your gpa at community college</p>
<p>Awesome. That’s for the reply, travelgirl.</p>
<p>One thing you want to keep in mind though - if you’re planning on applying to grad school (well at least this is true for law school & LSAC) your pre-UW GPA is still used in calculating your GPA for graduate studies.<br>
Plus, the departments at UW use your overall cumulative GPA for determining your major GPA. I transferred in to the UW with a 3.99 - my UW GPA has been a 3.65 since I transferred in last Winter, so I’m actually really happy I maxed out my pre-UW GPA cuz it opened the door to honors in my department + department scholarship + my second major. Hopefully it’ll help me secure my final major when I apply in the fall. Plus, the GPA has been used by each of the scholarships that I’ve received — so don’t slack off too much :P</p>
<p>Oh wow. Thanks for this info, it’s certainly helpful.
I guess I have to study for another week :)</p>
<p>Yes, study your butt off Seatac. Then I’ll see you at W Day in the fall. ;)</p>
<p>Yeah, thanks… It’s just another week or so… But I should admit that this is so far the easiest quarter ever.</p>
