<p>I was wondering about this with regards to transfer students:</p>
<p>1) how do universities calculate cumulative gpa when credits have been earned at more than one school? Several schools have sent me what their calculated cumulative gpa is for me and it is sometimes considerably different from the calculation I come up with when calculating my gpa to include all credits earned.</p>
<p>2) do they calculate classes such as remedial courses, institutional credit, or phys ed classes into your gpa?</p>
<p>3) when considering HS students it is my understanding that class rank is of higher importance than the actual gpa because it gives admissions a standard to compare the gpa against. How do universities evaluate/value your gpa when you don’t have a class rank as a university student to give a frame of reference as to the value of your gpa?</p>
