<p>Ok so am very concerned right now about my GPA. I applied to TAG last Fall 2010 to many schools, my top choice being UCSD. I had exactly a 3.0 by the end of Fall or at least thats what i thought. I went to talk to a councelor today about my GPA for some scholarships, and apparently i have a 3.26 instead of da 3.00 i though i had.
So i dont want to make my self happy for nothing, so i decided to ask.
Here is my situation and why my councelor says i have a higher GPA. I took calculus 1 twice in my current college, first getting an F and then a D. i could not retake it again here because of a rule about not taking the same class more then 2 times without a counselor approval. I went to another college to retake it almost a yr after and received an A on that class last fall. When calculating my GPA i was taking into acount the D and the A, and i got a 3.00, but my counselor said UCs only take the last grade for transfer studnets, which in my case is an A.
Here is the thing, in my campus the class is called Math 7 - Calculus 1, but in the other college is called Math 265- Calculus with Analytic Geometry I
Will UCs when calculating my GPA calculate only the A or they will also take into account the D?</p>
<p>Only the A.</p>
<p>UCs always take ur higher grade when u retake a class u got a D or an F in therefore they will only calculate ur A not the D or F.</p>
<p>In relation to this question,I have to ask…if you got a D on a math course but retook it again and got a B,is the “D” grade taken into account in the UC-transferrable GPA?</p>
<p>(In other words, the D and B grade are average out?or the B is only applied to the GPA and the D is ignored?)</p>
<p>to Ray, only the B will be taken into account. i know dat for sure. but i was just wondering in my case cause its in different colleges, so therefore UCs says its a different class. I was just wondering if no matter da name, only the A will be taken into account. </p>
<p>Thanks alot for ur responses guys =]</p>
<p>^ now im curious. If you get a D twice in the same class, does that do nothing to your gpa?</p>

<p>at my school they’ll still calculate the first failing grade you got into your gpa. so if you get an F a D and then an A, the D is still used to calculate your gpa but the F is dropped. not sure if the ucs do the same thing, though.</p>
<p>I believe to have a grade replaced you have to take the exact same course at the exact same school where you received the original grade. To me it sounds like the first two Calculus classes you took were the same class at the same school so the D will replace the F. However, while the content may have been similar, the A at your other CCC can not replace the D at your first one since it was not the same course as you received the D in and it was taken at a different school. For the three times you took Calculus 1, I believe the UCs will treat them as two courses, one an A and the other a D and will calculate your GPA using both grades.</p>

<p>Actually, I believe what you say only applies for the CCC’s own internal GPA calculations. The UCLA rep for my CCC told me that an introductory English class at a CCC could replace an introductory English class at a small LAC I attended on the east coast. This is all figured out by the admissions department of UC while they’re reviewing your application.</p>
<p>Yea, I go to SMC too. And i know they do that so i assumed it would be that way when transferring, but when i talked to a counselor she told me it was only a SMC policy. I just didnt now if i should believed her lol =]</p>
