<p>Ok so when i was in 10th grade i started taking college lvl courses at a local community college.. </p>
<p>Next year im going to do the whole "2 year in Community College and transfer" thing. I THOUGHT that i would start with a clean slot and a 4.0 gpa but someone told me that all the college courses i took in high school are going to show up on my transcript..</p>
<p>So now im panicking! I didn't get good grades in them and i want to transfer to UC Berkeley or UCLA so i need a very good college GPA to transfer!</p>
<p>Is it true or is it a lie?</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP!</p>
<p>btw the community college that i took the courses at is Diablo Valley College and i'm going to enroll in the same college next year to do my transfer program..</p>
<p>Hi, well for what it’s worth, I took several college math courses as a high schooler, and they don’t officially count for my “college GPA” when graduate schools consider me as an applicant.</p>
<p>You could even extend this and ask if your AP Calculus grade counts as part of your college GPA, since it could be replacing calculus in college. And the answer is, no, that was high school, and what you do in college is legitimately what you do in college, and I’m sure that’ll be the primary basis for evaluating you.</p>
<p>When you apply to college, the rule is to submit complete official transcripts for all previous secondary level (high school) or postsecondary level (college) courses you have taken. In my son’s case, that will be six (6) sets of official transcripts to go in with each of his college admission applications. The college admission office figures out what it all means.</p>
<p>OK so you know when you apply to transfer to a college it asks you to write the college courses you took…
do you think i should just write the ones i took in college? I don’t want them looking at the other courses and say i “lied” or anything…</p>
<p>Give a complete answer to a question like that on a college application. Ask the admission office if it is unclear what the question is asking about.</p>
<p>Every college class that you take at the community college will be recorded on your community college transcript whether you took the class as a 10th grader or as a 35 year old married guy with 3 kids. When you transfer to another college, part of the application will require you to send an official copy of your transcript from all previous colleges attended (in your case, community college). They will see the grades of all college classes completed at the previous college (including the class that you took there as a 10th grader).</p>
<p>Cal Love - what classes did you take @ DVC in 10th grade? Not all will be counted into your transfer GPA if they don’t fulfill the IGETC option, breadth, or general ed requirements…</p>
