<p>Rumor has it that when you transfer from a community college to UCLA that your GPA resets back to scratch...IS THIS TRUE or just a rumor to scare pre-med students!?!</p>
<p>premeds who go to community college? that is pretty laughable</p>
<p>^We’ll see who’s laughing in the end.</p>
<p>wow, terranoxic, kind of uncalled for, and a nice welcome to ucla i suppose, or your way of welcoming people…</p>
<p>but to answer the original question, your gpa doesn’t reset back. there is still a record of your gpa, but ucla will calculate your gpa separately as they don’t include it with their uc gpa. When you apply to med school, they’ll see your cumulative gpa (community college and uc gpa) and your gpas separately (communiyt college and uc gpas by themselves) hope that helps</p>
<p>Your CC GPA has nothing to with UCLA and will not carry over. So in a sense, your UCLA GPA is starting from scratch. But if you apply to any graduate/professional programs, they will require you to report grades from all the institutions you went to, at which point your CC grades and GPA will come back into play.</p>
