do grades transfer?

<p>I am applying to transfer after my freshman year, do the grades I get this year count towards my gpa for eventual graduate school admissions, or only the grades from my new school?</p>

<p>--------------no-----------------</p>

<p>Graduate schools may or may not ask for grades from all post-secondary institutions attended. Graduate schools which ask for grades from all post-secondary institutions attended may or may not care about lower division coursework.</p>

<p>Your new school may or may not consider your complete post-secondary GPA for purposes of honors, special program admissions, academic probation, etc.</p>

<p>So, it varies.</p>

<p>nop and never will
just your credits</p>

<p>OP asked if pre-transfer grades will count towards graduate school applications. The answer is that it depends on the school you're applying to. And there are certainly some that require all post-secondary transcripts. Shall I cite an example or two?</p>

<p>Department</a> of Classics - UNC Chapel Hill - Application for Graduate Programs in Classics
Liautaud</a> Graduate School of Business</p>

<p>I believe LSAC requires all post-secondary transcripts as well.</p>

<p>I did mistakenly answer a question that the OP did not ask, if that's the source of the confusion.</p>

<p>LSAC is actually what I was most curious about, thanks for your input</p>

<p>Not a problem. I have a little familiarity with law school admissions, and from what I understand the strongest factors are post-secondary GPA and LSAT score, followed by personal statement.</p>

<p>LSAC does require all transcripts. The system takes all classes/credits taken at all colleges and recalculates it into one single GPA.</p>

<p>Is it true that even when you only transfer credits, medical schools will still see the grades when you apply to med schools?</p>

<p>^ Well, when you apply to med school, don't you have to send transcripts from all undergrad institutions attended? Wouldn't they see all your grades regardless?</p>
