<p>I went to one school and recieved a D I then left enrolled into a CC and now I have a 3.0. Problem is with the D it brings my GPA down.</p>
<p>So if I retake the course that I got a D in at my new school and get a good grade which grade will my transfer school look at?</p>
<p>Bump Bump Bump</p>
<p>i think they look at all of your college grades, even if you retake the course now at your new college. the only way i know of to replace a grade is to have retaken the course immediately after you got a D at your first school, but even then they see that you retook it and they can usually guess why...i guess you'd have to ask the school you want to transfer to.</p>
<p>wrong.</p>
<p>the course at your new school re-articulates as an entirely different course, in which case, they would void out the second course that you repeated because they would be equivalent. its a waste of your time.</p>
<p>what you need to do is retake the course at the original school. do it</p>
<p>well i'm wrong and you're in luck. :)</p>
<p>The school doesn't offer any online courses online. Oh well.</p>
<p>what you could do is, never ever report that you were ever at that school in the first place, and never ever talk about it... and never ever see that D again...</p>
<p>hahaha</p>
<p>I met one student who transfered from University of Florida with a 1.5GPA and transfered to Miami-Dade College. She transfered her credits over from UF, which to me was quite dumb. It ruins her chances of transfering to another 4-year school.</p>
<p>I would strongly advise that if you had failed your classes overall at your last school, don't think about transfering. Just withdraw and start over somewhere else with a clean slate.</p>
<p>As for the "D" grade you got, it depends on the school that you want to go to. Some schools will accept grades of "C-", of which "D/F" grades don't transfer in. Look at your intended school's transfer policy.</p>
<p>From a transfer student who has now been to three schools let me just say... Heh, complete misinformation in this thread. That D is on your transcripts, plain and simple. You can not re-register anywhere with a "clean slate" you have to report every school you went to... don't and your new school will find out, promised... A 'D' will not transfer for credit to any institution, it'll be on your scripts, however, and that could keep you from getting into the school you want. You can take the class over at that school for grade forgiveness if it's allowed. The D is not off your transcripts, but it won't be counted in your GPA. </p>
<p>Also, I think there is a misconception of what transfers and what doesn't. You don't get course for course at your new school. For example, if you took Calc at your first school and got a B your second school will not put a B on your new transcripts for a Calc class. They will accept your transcripts from school A and use that for graduation, but nothing taken at other schools will show as a course completed at the new school. You'll simply have a new set of transcripts to send out the next time you apply for a university (I'm up to three transcripts, that's fun...). In other words, if the class is required at the second school, I'd wait until you get there and take it again.</p>
<p>The reason why im concerned is because I know I need to send EVERYTHING which means that D plus my current 3.0 gpa at my new school would be like a 2.8 or lower. There is no way in hell I could get into any school with that. I cannot retake the course at my old school since thats over 7 hours away and they do not offer it online.</p>
<p>I know how you feel Kenshi, I transfered from a school in Florida with a lower GPA. I decided to spend some time at the CC level until I had a nice transcript to send that would make me competitive. So, I'm doing awesome now, but there are still these transcripts I have to send when I apply places that shows that wasn't always the case. The best thing to do is to work hard where you are now and write a killer essay/personal statement to show that you've grown. Schools understand people make mistakes, if you show you are dedicated now they will be much more likely to look over the other transcripts that are bringing you down. Everybodies application is handled differently, I think every school knows we're all more than a bunch of numbers... just keep doing well man and try not to sweat the stuff in the past :)</p>
<p>dude. I got a C in ancient philosophy four years ago taking it when I was stupid in high school. In order to break the 3.8 GPA limit, i have to take a ridiculous amount of credits to shore up for it. if its gotta be done, its gotta be done, but that's the reality of it. It stays on your college record.</p>
<p>i know that's gonna be deep to sink in, but since you didnt pass, you have a little better leeway then i do. i got the dreaded 'C', so i'm basically screwed. but anyway. keep pluggin'.</p>
