transfering and gpa

<p>I know that you start on a new gpa when you transfer, but is the one from your first school completely disregarded? How does that work?</p>

<p>it depends on the school you transfer to.</p>

<p>for me, i'm transferring to a UC, so they keep my units but disregard the GPA. so i start at a 0.00 or 4.0 whichever way you'd like to look at it.</p>

<p>so if i f*** up my first semester there, i'll have a hard time bringing that up, and i'm doomed pretty much. if i do well my first semester there, let's say As... i'll have a 4.0 even though my GPA at my previous institution wasnt that great.</p>

<p>wow, i never knew they reset you gpa. good info. By the way, what happenn to my gabe needs to get laid thread. LOL</p>

<p>Also, as many of us already know (possibly not even worth mentioning), all your grades will matter for applying to grad schools.</p>

<p>McChowder... it's called censorship or irrelevantpostship</p>

<p>cja, it was a rhetorical question</p>

<p>is there such thing as a rhetorical answer?</p>

<p>That's a good question</p>

<p>I think it was a rhetorical question, Mc.</p>

<p>I know, lol. That's why i didn't answer it.</p>

<p>Mc...My response was a rhetorical one...</p>

<p>Oh really? I've never heard a rhetorical reponse like yours. I think mine was better.</p>

<p>unfortunately, my gpa transfers.</p>

<p>hobo which school are you transferring to?</p>

<p>probably UCSD, after i get rejected from USC.</p>

<p>For those of you transferring to USC this is what it says on their website. </p>

<p>"Once you are admitted, a transfer GPA will be established for all transferable course work; this average will be considered with your USC GPA to determine your eligibility for graduation with honors."</p>
