GPA Question

<p>I was wondering, once you transfer, what will happen to the GPAs you earned from the previous school? Say you transfer to UC from JC, will the UCs use your jc GPA under your record or will they be gone?</p>

<p>You start over</p>

<p>I too am wondering about this. I am aplying to USC from UNLV. Does the "starting over" also apply to me or just jc's?</p>

<p>In some sense, you start over. But if you plan to apply to graduate school, they will look at transcripts from all the colleges that you've attended.</p>

<p>That's also what I thought, but my dad is convinced graduate schools don't see community college transcripts. Is the GPA from community college AND UC? Or is it just UC with consideration to community college grades? How would I find this out? Would the UCLA Counseling Center have this information on their website? Or their catalog? My transfer center counselor told me that community college grades count at UCLA, so I'm getting mixed messages.</p>

<p>CNCL is right from what I've gotten from the academic counselors at my school: your CC GPA will "go away" and never be factored in with the GPA at your new university, but if you intend to go to graduate school (or transfer again), then the colleges will know and you will be required to send them official transcripts.</p>

<p>At the UCs, there is an official notation of your prior GPA, and where it came from; it just isn't factored into your UC GPA unless you took it at a UC (that's right: A UC; any grade earned at any UC at any time for any consistantly pursued degree goes into a SINGLE GPA).</p>

<p>thanks guys</p>
