So, say you have a 3.8 GPA with the 70+ units you've taken at a CC and only a 3.7 with the capped 70 units for graduation. How would they calculate that?

UCLA calculates a UC gpa; they do not deal with your Ccc gpa. The exception would be a department that wants to see you have a high gpa to get into some program like honors or something (as an incoming transfer student), but your transcript doesn't show a gpa for ANY of the units you are transferring.</p>

What would law schools look at?

That's a completely different issue. They look at ALL your grades from college. You send LSDAS transcripts from every college you've attended.

In other words, is it a good idea to try to boost your GPA by taking more credits before transferring to a UC?

You can do that; just take real classes--not filler like Microsoft Word, etc.</p>
