<p>I keep hearing different stories from my friends about what happens-- either we start fresh there or we carry it over :O ?</p>

<p>I was thinking (& hoping for) the latter because wouldn't grad school be looking at our overall undergrad GPA?</p>

<p>From what i have gathered, Grad schools will look at your CC GPA</p>

4

<p>start fresh.</p>

<p>but grad school will count your cc gpa + your 4-year univ gpa.</p>

<p>Does anyone know what GPA they look at when awarding Latin honors (eg. magna cum laude) at graduation, just university GPA or university + CC GPA?</p>

<p>whoa new GPA??? YESSSSS please haha cant waittt. ready for that fresh 4.0 :D</p>

<p>so if you got a 4.0 while you were at a uc but had a 3.3 at a cc are you screwed for grad?</p>

<p>^^^Essentially yes, a lot of grad schools also don’t do academic forgiveness. So if you spent time repeating a few courses in CC, both of your grades are going to count into the GPA they will acknowledge.</p>

<p>When you transfer to a UC, you’ll start over will a completely separate UC GPA that the UC will recognize. However, for anything outside of that grad school, med school, etc. they generally factor in both together. If you plan to stop your education at your bachelor’s degree it shouldn’t matter, but if you plan to go on your CC grades will typically always be with you.</p>

<p>jnguygen471, some schools only consider your last 60 units. For example, UC Berkeley and UCLA, I think. Read about it a month or so ago on their website. </p>

<p>For UCLA anyway:</p>
