<p>In the transfer FAQ that is sticky'ed on the top it states:</p>
<p>"17. Does my gpa start over after I transfer to a uc?
Yes, you're gpa starts with a blank slate after you transfer. You do not get to keep your gpa. The exception is that you are a uc-uc transfer student. Uc-uc transfer students get to keep their gpa."</p>
<p>Ok, when I go to apply for grad school, are they just gonna look at my GPA that I get at the UC I transfer to or my total GPA incluidng community college courses prior to transfer?</p>
<p>I know that for law school you will be required to submit all transcripts to LSAC (Law School Admissions Council) who will calculate your cumulative GPA and send it out to the law schools you wish to apply to. I'm sure that grad schools will give particular weight and importance to the grades you earned at university.</p>
<p>haha what if you apply to some school like harvard and when they see your transcripts..."junior college? JUNIOR COLLEGE?? psh..." and they toss your application</p>
<p>i'd assume grad school takes a closer look at our upper division work just how the schools we applied to now take a closer look at our major prereqs. That's just my own speculation though, nothing official.</p>
<p>i hope thats the case because i REALLY messed up my first year in CC. im a lot more motivated now. i plan on doing my undergraduate work at UCSB and then going to grad school in either UCLA if im into social psychology or UCSD if im into neuro psychology. probably UCLA</p>
<p>When applying to grad school everything is taken into consideration, you have to submit all transcripts. That being said, if you had one bad semester but you had an upward trend in your grades and you have good grades all other semesters they will generally look past one bad semester or a few bad grades. Don't sweat it too much, oh and to the person who made the comment about the JC at Harvard, you couldn't be further from WRONG. There are many students each year accepted to Harvard's dental school who came from community colleges.</p>
<p>They look at all your grades. The level of assessment when it comes to lower-division courses could be different with medical school (which is I am guessing you are going for). If all else fails, call the UCLA Neurology department. You can get an idea of how they assess your GPA at other colleges if you ask. From the colleges you listed, I'm guessing UCLA is your main choice. It would be in your best interest to call someone there:</p>
