<p>I've heard that your dual credit gpa factors into your whole gpa when transferring. I want to transfer into mccombs and this is really discouraging. </p>

<p>Even though I have a 4.0 I really don't because I got B's in Trig and Precal in what 10th and 11th grade????!</p>

<p>You will be submitting an official college transcript. Order one and look at it. What does it show? It seems like that is what they would use.</p>

<p>Every single college credit course will be looked at so unfortunately I believe they will adjust your GPA with the two B's</p>

<p>I thought when you go to college you can choose not to use your Dual Credits. Or do they force you to count them?</p>

<p>im not sure. i think i submitted it for approval in the beginning of school because i didnt know. dont know if its possible to have it removed though. </p>

<p>but at least i got As in Calculus 1 and 2, so hopefully that matters more than the B's I got in highschool? at least I would think right?</p>

<p>It's my understanding they will count DC because they are college courses. It's the AP credits that you can choose to count or not.</p>

<p>damn so i'll have like a 3.82 if we go by that scale since i got b's in trig and precal but got an A in cal 1. Ill have an A in cal 2 and the other indicator classes as well. </p>

<p>how screwed am i? i thought i had a decent chance with the 4.0 but now its a 3.82 :( :(</p>

<p>i mean hopefully the a's in cal 1 and 2 outweigh the b's i got earlier in highschool??</p>

<p>I did not submit dual credit when I applied, but I didn't have a grade yet because I was in the course during the fall semester when I applied. The course was also designated as AP and not Dual Credit on my transcript, so this may be part of the reason.</p>

<p>The credit ended up counting at UT, but not as in-residence and not toward my GPA (I think it will count in my GPA when I apply for law school or grad school though).</p>

<p>strider why don't you just call admissions and ask them? None of us really know anything.</p>
