<p>like lets say your GPA is a 3.0 when you transfer from a CC. Then when you graduate from lets say UCSD and your GPA is a 3.2. Will your GPA be a 3.1 when applying to grad school?</p>
<p>SPECIFICALLY P.A SCHOOL</p>
<p>I was told that your GPA is basically reset once you transfer to your UC.</p>
<p>Yeah it resets because you’re at a new school. They still have your transcripts and grades. So basically you’ll have your UC GPA (which you can work on once you transfer to a UC from scratch) and your cumulative GPA which graduate schools will look at when they review your application (graduate schools will look at both transcripts guaranteed but they will be leaning a little more towards the UC GPA).</p>
<p>Another thing that many people don’t know is that graduate schools average out retaken courses. For example, you failed calc 1 (didn’t drop the course). You retake it again and obtain an A. You’re CC transcript will usually replace your previous grade with your new grade (complete substitution). Graduate schools will average out.</p>
<p>^ Does that averaging work with Academic Renewal as well? As in, can they still see that you failed even though it technically “wipes out” that quarter?</p>
<p>I’m not sure how academic renewal works. I thought that academic renewal completely cleaned your transcript…</p>
<p>Academic renewal is only valid at your current institution. Once you apply to grad schools they will obtain EVERY single grade you’ve received including your grades prior to Academic renewal. There is no way around it.</p>
<p>Academic renewal doesn’t erase anything off your transcript, it only marks failed courses as “repeated in blablah yeah/semester.”</p>
<p>Grad schools will have access to your full transcripts, including any Ds or Fs. UCs do too, they just ignore anything you got a D/F if and subsequently passed.</p>
