what gpa will grad schools use if i went to community college?

<p>Do grad schools weight the gpa from a university higher than the gpa from community college or is all they care about your overall gpa?</p>

<p>I would think the university gpa is definitely weighted much higher; at a community college you basically took all of your GE’s, and at the university you were generally only taking upper-div courses w/in your major.</p>

<p>There is a kid in my MA program at a top tier Uni that started out at a community college. So I assume they weight the classes from the Uni much higher.</p>

<p>As far as I know, all they care about is the University GPA. The community college classes are likely lower division, non major classes that won’t predict your success in graduate school.</p>

<p>Some schools/programs care about your gpa from your last 60 (semester) credits- these would be from the degree granting institution. Also- some care about your gpa in your major, as well as upper division courses taken- likewise the final school matters most.</p>

<p>look at the individual universities’ polices…I went to a few CCs, studied aboad and had my undergrad gpa also and i was told to average them all together (keeping in mind how many units each class was worth, of course, and whether the units were semester or quarter)…usually schools ask for two GPA’s your major GPA and your cumulative (which is everything including CC classes). Community college classes are still classes.</p>
