is transfering these credits even worth it?

<p>straight out of highschool i went to WSU for a year and ended up with terrible looking transcript.</p>

<p>FINEARTS101 C 3credits
HIST105 C 3credits
HIST121 C- 3credits
ECON101 C 3credits
ENGL 101 C+ 3credits
ENGL 102 F 1credits
MATH106 C- 3credits
UCOLLEGE A 1credit</p>

<p>with AP classes and converted to quarters thats 36 credits</p>

<p>the last two quarters i have been at community college and after winter quarter will be at 45 more credits with maybe two Cs if i really mess up. </p>

<p>i haven't transferred any credits yet so now i can either transfer my WSU credits and hope it doesnot screw my GPA beyond repair or just stick out another two quarters at community college and end up with a much nicer looking GPA. i feel like its gonna take two semesters anyways to bring my GPA up to a point where i will get accepted in to UWs construction management program and having 6Cs and around 130 credits with just an AA cant look good to any admissions officers. not only that but on the list of recommended undergraduate courses they want two quarters of both basic calc and physics which i would have plenty of time to finish if i don't transfer my credits. </p>

<p>any advice? my community college adviser proved herself useless a couple hours ago</p>

<p>Transfering the credits should not hurt your GPA at the community college. It is customary throughout higher education to transfer only the credit, not the grade. If your grade is above the threshold and the course is considered transferable, then the credit hours transfer to the new school, but your current GPA remains based solely on your performance at the new school.</p>

<p>That being said, given your situation and your intention to remain at CC anyway for another 2 quarters, it seems like you have little to gain from transferring credits unless you need a prerequisite for a particular class.</p>

<p>When you transfer to UW, then you may be able to transfer some classes from both prior institutions, but doing it now seems like needless work.</p>
