Actually you start out at zero GPA when you transfer. Your Berkeley GPA will be calculated with the classes you take there. </p>
<p>However, a common argument that people bring up is that transfers skipped those weeder lower divisions and hence it is easier for them to get a high GPA. Transfers can make a counter argument that it is harder to get a high GPA for them because CC didn’t prepare them enough for the UD classes. Anyways, lets not get into a freshman vs. transfer debate.</p>
