Grade Replacement Recalculation? Help please.

<p>Had a question for how colleges that you transfer to look at classes that were repeated for a new grade, and how they recalculate to reach a GPA when they factor in the previous grade.</p>

<p>If one has an F (0.0) in a class, then repeats the class for a new grade and gets an A (4.0).... when the school takes this older grade into account to recalculate the GPA for that class... does this new grade for the combined two end up becoming a 2.0?</p>

<p>Further, I am aware that only some schools average the two grades for the same class that was repeated....</p>

<p>What schools do this recalculation rather than just taking the repeated grade at full value, or rather, what kind (meaning types such as prestige level, public, private, good, bad, etc.) of schools do this? What types (again, prestige level, state, public, private, etc...) of schools do not?</p>

<p>This will vary by college. You would have to ask each how they would calculate the GPA.</p>
