<p>I recently graduated with a degree in economics and found that many government jobs have GPA requirements based on a 4.0 scale.</p>
<p>I spent the first half of my education at a community college and the second half at a UC. The problem is that when you transfer your GPA is wiped clean, and after I transferred I had a few personal issues that resulted in getting a final GPA of 2.87 upon graduation. However my transfer GPA is somewhere around 3.8 or 3.9.</p>
<p>These government jobs specify this: "Possess a bachelor's degree and superior academic achievement S.A.A. (S.A.A. is based on (1) class standing, (2) grade-point average, or (3) honor society membership. Grade-point average (G.P.A.)--Applicants must have a grade-point average of: 3.0 or higher out of a possible 4.0 ("B" or better) as recorded on their official transcript, or as computed based on 4 years of education, or as computed based on courses completed during the final 2 years of the curriculum"</p>
<p>So my question is simple: Obviously at the college I graduated at my GPA is just a bit too low, however if I COMBINE my transfer college and my graduating university my gpa will be well above the requirement. </p>
<p>Do you think these government jobs would accept a combined GPA based on my entire academic history or will they only care about the college I graduated from?</p>
