<p>For instance, if I transfer from College X to ABC University with a 3.9 GPA. Will I begin my classes at ABC with a 3.9, or will my GPA be recalculated by that university?</p>
<p>Usually, a university calculates your GPA (for cum laude, and such) based solely on your performance at that school. Graduate schools, however, will consider and calculate an aggregate.</p>
<p>in the UC system you start out with a clean slate....which sucks</p>
<p>Yeah, bye bye 4.0</p>
