Do Non-UC Schools Factor in Community College Courses into GPA?

Applying to College

<p>Looking at CMU, MIT, Brown, Stanford, Harvey Mudd. Do they consider your
community college courses in calculating GPA? I understand the UC does
include them. </p>

<p>You mean dual enrollment classes? </p>

<p>Yes - dual enrollment. I had one class the summer after frosh year and three the summer after sophomore year. Now there is some question as to whether I should move the chem class to my high school transcript or leave it in the CC. For UC applications it shouldn’t matter one way or the other as according to their site they include the CC classes in the GPA calculation. But I haven’t been able to see how private colleges view these classes.</p>

<p>I can only tell you that at Illinois Tech (also an [url=“&lt;a href=“http://theaitu.org%22%5DAITU%5B/url”&gt;http://theaitu.org”]AITU[/url</a>] member) it is considered as transfer credit if it appears on a college transcript. If your HS also includes it in your GPA then we don’t take it out.</p>

<p>Thanks xraymancs. So for my elementary Chemistry say - that shows as 4 credits on the CC transcript. If I went to ITech and left those credits on my CC transcript I would receive 4 credits toward graduation. But it would not be considered as part of my overall GPA toward acceptance. Might it at least be considered as part of the rigor evaluation in that I wasn’t just lolling around in the summer? :-)</p>
