<p>"Record your overall GPA as listed on your transcript(s). If you have attended more than one school, please list each GPA followed by the school name in parentheses."</p>
<p>Zemookmook:
"i'm taking bets at how they guess what your gpa is. since we only provide the gpa at the bottom of the transcript, and that GPA varies from school to school and includes nontransferrable courses, and since we all calculate painstakingly our own UC gpa, which in most cases is correct-but something they're definitely not going to do for all 400ish applicants, how do they calculuate/find out your overall gpa. any takers?"</p>
<p>What calculation are you talking about? If you have more than one overall GPA from attending multiple colleges, you just put it in parenthesis. Since your taking bets...I'll put money on the adcom's not calculating your overall GPA...at all.</p>
<p>No your transcripts have 2 GPAs not just accumulative, also transferable. So if they look at your transcripts assuming youve only attended one CC, then its very easy to know a persons transferable GPA.</p>
<p>xferstd: all of the times you calculate uc transferrable gpa etc doesnt even make a difference. it doesnt matter. all they see is the gpa at the bottom of your transcript. so you cant make assumptions or predictions etc based on transferrable gpa. that's why i feel like an idiot, because i felt like the couple grades that i had that were bringing down my uc transferrable would hinder me. but that was all hype.</p>
<p>for future reference, we shouldnt even list our uc gpa for haas applicants. it looks like it just doesnt really matter. basically just a general sense of what you have. a couple b's. a couple c's. a couple d's. 4.0. i think that's what they're going off of too, anyway.</p>
<p>Your wrong zemookmook, Ive looked at my damn transcript many times with the couselors, etc... and THERE are 2 GPAs my Accumulative and TRansferable. I know this is true because thats how i know what my GPA is. I calculated it myself and got it wrong because the lady showed it to me. Dont tell me im wrong when i know im right.</p>
<p>snake. i dont know what college you go to, but your cc transcript reporting system...dont you think it might be different, then, you know..maybe say, a ccc 20 miles away? or 200 miles away? just because its on your transcript doesnt mean its on everyones..? i've attended five and all five dont have that system. </p>
<p>ya your riite my bad... anyway mine has it on there, i dont know why they wouldnt, it would just make this more complicated for the review process right..</p>
<p>basically: dont try and calculate your gpa over and over again hypothetically. it doesnt matter, at least for haas, it doesnt. you can be in a relative position to other people, or you might not be. just try and get as close to a 4.0 as possible. this is the conclusion of the discussion.</p>
<p>zemookmook, if you did it wrong, you can still update your application! Or if you could contact them by e-mail. I'm sure they have no problem with an honest mistake.</p>
<p>What you are saying still makes no sense whatsoever. How do you calculate GPA "over and over again hypothetically"? It is a simple equation, use a damn calculator. Oh, and it is at the bottom of your transcript, hey!</p>
<p>LOL I agree with zemookmook, and hey Wilderr you used a double negative "can't not".... unless you ment you cant not, so if you ment cant not then your ok, but if you ment cant not then thats wrong. :) just to be clear...</p>
