<p>Does Emory take the credits you earn from your community college? </p>

<p>Do the grades you earn factor into your overall Emory GPA? Do you have to send the official transcript from the CC to Emory if you took some courses there?</p>

<p>I’m applying this year, so I’m not an Emory student, but I looked into this stuff for myself.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, please see the following excerpt from the college of arts and science catalog.</p>

<p>I have no link for this, but most colleges do not factor your CC grades into your overall GPA. I heard/read somewhere that Emory does factor your grades into your Emory GPA if you’re applying as a transfer student, have an A.A., and receive junior standing. In your case, I definitely wouldn’t think so.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes–even if you don’t want credit. Colleges request official transcripts from all high schools and colleges/universities you’ve taken courses at. If you don’t, they’ll find out, and it’ll mean that you’ve lied when you signed the application.</p>

<p>No transfer credits will count in your Emory GPA. Regardless, your GPA starts over at Emory.</p>

<p>Thanks, guys.</p>

<p>Just wondering, is it really considered a lie to not put down a community college course on your app? What if the course was taken for fun, and the grade won’t be used for either high school credit or college credit?</p>
