<p>ok guy sry but this is going off topic. i was talking about a B in a non-related course, not an “AR,” watever that means. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>wow, thats remarkable and gives me a lot of hope! thats surpising how he failed a course that was very related to his major and still got in 2 cal & stanfrd.</p>
<p>graduate schools DO see your cc transcript. fenris is wrong wrong wrong.</p>
<p>im not sure about the others, but i know that med school and law school require you to submit both and they average your gpas together. of course, your cc transcript most likely will not be as significant as your uc transcript, but having a fail or “ar” won’t look so hot.</p>
<p>

<p>Are you sure about this? I mean, it’s one thing for Ad-coms to take both CC and UC transcripts into consideration in evaluating a transfer applicant, and another to average the GPAs of both into a single GPA. I would hope the former would be true, especially since the UC years (junior and senior) hold more weight in Graduate School admissions, since they’re more rigorous. More importantly, these years’ courses are geared towards what you’ll be studying IN graduate school. </p>
<p>I do acknowledge I could be wrong.</p>
<p>I actually have heard that they aggregate…not average your GPA from CC and UC.</p>
<p>It’s like having two separate GPA’s and comparing them to see a trend.</p>
<p>Yeah. I got mixed up with medical schools. Some medical schools consider W’s as withdrawal failures (F). Graduate school admission isn’t as demanding as medical schools.</p>
<p>Overall GPA means everything you have done in undergraduate studies (UC’s CC’s). That’s why most people plan early on (highschool) for medical schools. If you screwed up in community college, regardless of how well you do at a 4-year university, medical schools won’t be too fond of that.
Additionally, AR is pretty bad. Most medical schools take the average of two classes (D+A=B-).</p>
<p>oliver twist, i may not be correct about the med school, but i am 100% sure about law school that they average the gpas together.</p>
<p>EmpathyInAnarchy- glad im not the only one already studying for the GRE, lol.</p>
<p>technically we dont have very much time so we might as well get a good start huh?</p>
<p>They see EVERYTHING.
they mostly look at the last 60 units completed though
and your GMAT/LSAT/GRE scores
and experience in your field.</p>
<p>^^ Bingo. 10char.</p>
<p>I’ve got two years to study for the LSAT. All I need is a decent 160, with a 3.5 GPA to get into the top Law schools. The higher the LSAT score, the lower my gpa can be. The higher my GPA, the lower my LSAT score can be (without dipping below 155). If they’re both high, I can include Harvard in my sights. What is crazy are the difference in Law rankings vs. undergrad. Berkeley is top 5 in the nation for law, UCLA is top 10, vs. top 20 for both in undergrad. Columbia is top 3. Average salary of a typical Columbia law grad in the first year is $160,000. Six figure salaries are all the norm for graduates of any of the top 5 law schools.</p>
