Do grades transfer or just credits...??

<p>when you commit to transfer to a new school, they obviously decide which of your credits will transfer. But does your Gpa transfer too?</p>

<p>Varies by the school, I believe.</p>

<p>Just the credits transfer...so your GPA from your "new" school accounts only for the courses you take there....you start on a clean slate.</p>

<p>but when someone asks your cummulative GPA for all 4 years...you would have to average your "old" & "new" school GPAs.</p>

<p>sofa or anyone:
when you say you average your old and new school GPA..
The old or new school's gpa would be weighted less or more depending on how many years you were at that school, correct? In other words, the two school's gpas would not be weighted 50/50 if you stayed at one school 1 year and the other 3 years.</p>

<p>most schools dont tranfer the GPA, so when u get accpeted u have X number of credits and no GPA.</p>

<p>pinkpig - yes, you would average in a "weighted" manner.</p>

<p>(GPA-f + GPA-s + GPA-j + GPA-sr)/4 = your average GPA</p>

<p>You could even get more complicated and do it by # credits, simply adding each grade*credit hrs/total# credit hours</p>

<p>do your community college grades have an affect, if any, if you were to apply for an internship or if you were to apply for grad school?</p>

<p>It depends on how many hours you accumulated each year. I do not think it is mathematically possible, though, to have it be weighted 50/50 after four years, assuming that the minimum required number of hours to graduate is 120.</p>

<p>Yes. Taking UCLA for example:</p>
