<p>To tell you the truth, I have to blame myself. My Introductory Psychology was not the most exciting part of my Tuesday. It was a one day a week class (from 6:45-9:30 PM) and it was terribly boring. However, I did horrific on tests (low Bs and Cs) which resulted to my B in that supposed "blow-off" class. Now, I'm about to go off to college and I am frankly terrified that my GPA will begin at a horrendous start.</p>
<p>My main concern is that I took these concurrent enrollment courses so I can transfer some of those credits to where I want to go in the future. However, I really don't want to transfer that godforsaken B to my future college. Will my B count only for credit (since I "passed") or will that count towards my future GPA (which I will kill myself if it does...)?</p>
<p>I'm not in college yet. That B is for the class I'm taking concurrently. Will it transfer over to the college I will attend next year? or will it just show up as credit?</p>
<p>It probably depends on the college. You could just e-mail them and find out. Just say you're wondering if concurrent class grades count toward your college GPA. You don't even have to say that you made a B when you e-mail them. Although a B is really not all that bad, so you should get used to it.</p>
<p>I know at my college they just count it as credit; not against your GPA. But it varies based on college. Seriously though, don't be "that guy" that freaks out this much over a B.</p>
<p>At my school, only courses taken here are counted toward your GPA. Courses taken at other institutions are on my transcript, but it's not figured in my GPA. But this will vary by college. Like the previous poster mentioned, call the potential school's records office to find out.</p>
<p>God, a B? That's harsh man. I wouldn't even go to college if I were you.</p>
<p>Really. Could you freak out anymore? It's not that big of a deal.</p>
<p>I'll repeat what was said above and say it depends on the college. For me, I took a college class while in high school and just the credit transferred over, so it won't affect my GPA. </p>
<p>While you figure it out though, you really need to chill out.</p>
<p>Get over it. There will be worse things to come, and if one B is enough to bowl you over, you're pretty screwed.</p>
<p>It'll just transfer to your future school as credit and won't count in any GPAs they assign you, but if you ever apply to professional school (e.g. law, med) it will be included.</p>
<p>At many schools it will and it really doesn't matter what your school's policy is since if you apply to any grad school or anything they will request your GPA from each school attended separately.
That having been said, a B's really nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>It probably won't be counted into your "official" undergrad GPA for things like honors societies, study abroad, and whatnot within your undergrad institution. But it's at the discretion of grad and professional schools to include all college courses, not just the ones you took at the place that gave you your degree. Medical schools, for example, look at all course grades.</p>

So only graduate schools will count it? Not undergrad? Or professional schools? I'm confused...

It means it doesn't matter how or if your undergraduate school will count it; if you apply to grad/professional school, they will require a transcript from every institution from which you've taken a college class and will see it and/or recalculate GPA their own way.</p>
<p>Now quit worrying about a B. Seriously. When you order a pizza, do you also freak out if the toppings aren't distributed completely uniformly?</p>
