<p>Hello all, I was wondering if anyone here had an idea about how your GPA is calculated after you transfer to another school? I know that for Cornell if you get in, the GPA you held at your previous college is not included in your GPA calculation for the grades you get at Cornell. So you can still manage a 4.0 at Cornell even if you had a B+ in a course before transferring. But what impact does this have on your overall GPA when you apply to grad school? Will they see the grades/gpa I had before I transfered to Cornell?</p>
<p>Sorry, I didn’t mean how to calculate it, but I meant how does it factor in to your college career I guess…</p>
<p>You get a brand-new GPA at your new school. However, if you apply to graduate school, every grade you have ever earned in any college course will be factored into your GPA.</p>
<p>So if I want to apply to a grad school, they would look at all my past colleges GPA? Not just the one I am currently attending? (planning to transfer)</p>
<p>well yea, that’s what transfers 2010 said…</p>
<p>basically, you have 2 GPAs, but grad schools ALWAYS pay attention to the Junior and Senior years more, for two reasons, 1) Classes are harder and you are taking your core classes 2) It’s better to start badly then buckle up (it shows you are getting your priorities right) than start well and drift away.
So if you do well now, you are good to go.</p>
