This may or may not have been answered before, but your GPA resets to 0.00 when you transfer, right? I have a 3.72 right now, but I may be getting my first-ever C in a 4-unit class (one of the last phys. sciences left for me this last semester, needed it for my IGETC but I'm awful at it).

Also, if you go on to grad school, do they want to see your comm. college GPA, or are they primarily interested in what you get after you transfer? I doubt one single community college C will really make or break my chances at a Ph.D program, but I want to cover all my bases.

you'll have a new uc gpa but graduate schools look at your cumulative grades. Also, depending on how competitive of a program you apply to that C can indeed hold you back. For example, that C would murder your LSDAS gpa.

It's all here.
Will the grades from my old school stick with me? Or start over?

Hah, I didn't know there was a thread made less than 12 hours ago. How embarrassing.

Vertex

It got lost in the sea of UCLA threads lol

ohherro

hold on so all these people transferring from another uc are not talking about their cumulative gpa or just the gpa they've earned so far at that uc?

JetForcegeminix

if they've only attended that UC then their UC gpa is their cumulative gpa.

Do CSU's also reset your GPA upon transfer?

If you UC intercampus transfer, your GPA stays the same. If you are from another institution, your GPA resets.
