Hi, I have taken many dual enrollment courses, and I have a good college GPA while still in high school. However, I am applying for many top universities that usually don’t accept dual credit. Even if they don’t accept my credits, will my college GPA still hold? Or will I start from scratch?
I am hoping it starts from scratch because I might get a B in one of my current Dual classes.
Thanks
When you attend a different college from the one you are taking college courses at now, whether or not you get transfer credit, the typical treatment is not to count grades from courses at other colleges in one’s GPA (there are a few exceptions when the two colleges are associated in some way), so your GPA at your new college will be based only on grades earned in courses at the new college.
However, if you later apply to graduate or professional school (or transfer to yet another college), all college courses and grades from all colleges will need to be shown and may be considered by admissions to such graduate or professional school (e.g. medical and law schools will calculate application GPAs using all college courses and grades from all colleges).

So bottomline, my current college GPA should have no bearing when accepted to a different university.
Thanks a lot for the help
