Transfer GPA Question

<p>Is it true that the gpa from your community college does not transfer over to the school you transfer to? If this is true, then isn't it difficult to maintain a good GPA in a tougher school with upper division courses? I am especially concerned about this because I am an electrical engineering major and have heard a great deal about the rigor of junior/senior level classes.</p>

<p>Also, when would your community college GPA be important again? Is this counted during grad school admissions or when you apply for a job?</p>

<p>Uh, I suggest you look at this another way. Think about it, you’re a transfer student from a community college. You obviously are very dedicated to entering a UC and completing all requirements needed to graduate. Do you really think you lack the motivation to get a 3.5-4.0 in all of your classes at the UC? If you don’t mess around and stay focused for a couple of years (which is basically what you did and are still doing at the community college <em>hopefully</em>), you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Also, it’s not wise to let other people’s opinions about classes affect you. You should always go into a class wanting to ace it, whether its hard or not. If you have trouble in a class, just butt-buddy the teacher and you’ll get through it.</p>

<p>Can’t answer last 2 questions, sorry. :(</p>

<p>no it doesn’t carry over, but yes it’s counted in grad school admissions. And probably for your first job after graduation…</p>
