<p>Hi everyone! I will apply to a private school in the spring from a CC, and I wonder if I got a B in a UC non transferable class would take affect on my overall GPA or not, because most UCs don't look at it and won't affect your GPA, but Im not quite sure about the privates? Thank you in advance to answer this question!!</p>
<p>That's a very good question and I'm looking forward to others responses!</p>
<p>which private school? any specific one?</p>
<p>I would think the private school considers your overall GPA...</p>
<p>Why would private schools care about the transferability of a course by UC standards? Whether or not a course is transferable is up to that particular institution, as is how your GPA will be calculated. </p>
<p>So as Ferrari4XD pointed out, it depends on the school. Check with the school you're applying to.</p>
<p>what about usc?</p>

<p>From USC's</a> Transfer Credit & Policy page:</p>
<p> [quote] Courses and Units that Will Not Transfer</p>
<pre><code>Non-accredited: Course work or degrees taken at unaccredited institutions. Grades: Courses graded with less than a "C-" (these will still affect your transfer grade point average (GPA)). Courses in areas of study not offered by USC, including: agriculture, business office procedures, hotel management, food services, industrial mechanics, interior design, fire science, police science, forestry, and similar technical or professional programs. Same material: Credit may not be earned for an A.P. exam and an I.B. exam (or a college course) covering the same material. Experience: Life experience, portfolio work, courses offered by business or governmental agencies (even if evaluated by the American Council on Education), work experience, or equivalence examination units. Placement exams: Course and/or unit credits awarded by another institution for placement examinations. Remedial classes: Remedial, college preparatory, or personal development course work, including mathematics courses below the level of college algebra. (Intermediate algebra, USC’s minimum math requirement, is not transferable.) Nontraditional course work at two-year colleges: Independent study, directed study, correspondence courses, internships, or travel courses. </code></pre>
<p>Determining Your Transfer and USC GPA For the admission decision, all grades in USC transferable courses (including grades of "D+" and below) are calculated into the grade point average (GPA). USC takes into account plus/minus grading. Incompletes and missing grades from your transfer institution are treated as an “F.” Credit/No Credit and Pass/No Pass marks are not included in the transfer GPA.</p>
<p>If you repeat a transferable course, each grade earned in that course will be used to calculate the transfer GPA for admission. Further, USC does not honor academic renewal or academic forgiveness programs that allow students to improve recorded substandard academic performance.

<p>Thats what I think too, I really want to apply to NYU with a decent GPA.. and I think the grade will take into account to my overall GPA. Thank you!</p>
<p>Don't forget that NYU still requires SAT/ACT scores as well as your HS transcripts.</p>
