<p>hey guys,</p>
<p>im an incoming transfer student and i was wondering how my gpa will translate into the columbia system. some credits wont transfer, but will they affect my gpa. some credits will transfer, but will only be transferred as general elective credits - will these count?</p>
<p>what about the whole 4.3 system? does our gpa just start over?</p>
<p>Hey! I’m an incoming transfer, too! Essentially, you should have received the sheet that tells you which credits will transfer (although the sheet held the Spring Semester grades as tentative, until the grades at least came in and were good enough), and that’s exactly what will transfer: the credits. As for the grades/ your GPA, that does start all over. Clean slate. Sort of a bummer for those of us who worked our tails off at out prior schools, but I suppose it also levels the playing field.</p>
<p>Good luck next year! Maybe I’ll see you around campus!</p>
<p>thanks a lot malapropism!</p>
