<p>I'm sorry to post multiple threads, but I had a question about courses taken at a local CC from when I was a middle schooler and a freshman in high school. Apparently they will affect my college GPA now if I attend the CC. At the moment, I'm attending UCSB as a freshman having already completed summer and fall quarters. My gpa was a 3.94 but I want to go to a CC and transfer to UCB. I got a C and a B in a basic algebra class and English class in 8th and 9th grades. Will that really affect my admission in the future? I have no idea what to do other than either stick at UCSB or go to a different CC. I'm new to this transfer business. Thanks!</p>
<p>They will only look at the course you’ve taken at UCSB and the courses you will take at a cc.</p>
<p>So in other words, I fine just going to the CC I attended in the past and getting all A’s? Or is there something I’m missing here that is vital to a future admission to either UCB or UCLA</p>
<p>Wait, you took cc courses in middle school? Those classes should also affect your gpa.</p>
<p>Yes. That was the thing I was asking about. Would it even count onto my major gpa and affect my admissions. Do I have to report those old miscellaneous grades when I apply or just the recent major courses?</p>
<p>Yes, you have to report every class you ever took at any college.</p>
<p>Basic algebra is not going to be transferable so it’s not going to affect your admission at all. The UCs really only accept pre-calculus and above because they don’t offer any math classes below that. Also, since I’m going to take a guess and assume your English class will not have transferred over either since it was likely a remedial English course and not freshman composition or a critical thinking course considering you took it as a middle school student. You’re still going to have to report them, but it’s not going to have any effect on your admission if it’s not transferable. You should probably check with a college counselor to see if that English course is transferable, basic algebra definitely isn’t. It should also be listed in the course catalog whether it’s csu or uc transferable. </p>
<p>Also, going to another community college wouldn’t have solved your problem. You have to report all your grades from every higher education institution you’ve attended regardless of when. That means even if you were to have stayed at UCSB you have to report those CC grades. If not and they find out you risk being banned from ever being eligible to apply in the UC system again.</p>
