<p>I’m trying to find my transferable GPA to a state college, San Jose State University. I attended UCR for one year, and a CC for one year. (I’m in the third year at CC applying now). I don’t have my cumulative GPA for both because they are on separate transcripts… how do I do this can anyone help ??</p>
<p>thank you so MUCH in advance!</p>
<p>i am also interested in this too. much help appreciated.</p>
<p>I would give the cumulative GPA from the college where you spent more time. I think that trying to combine the GPAs yourself could come across as manipulative, although I know that some graduate schools will try to combine your GPAs. To be safe, email the schools yourself.</p>
<p>Assuming both the CC and UCR are both either qt or sem (if one is sem and the other qt, you’ll have to do some more calculations):</p>
<p>For each class calculate: # credits X grade (A=4; B=3, etc).</p>
<p>Sum those up and divide by the number of total credits = cum GPA</p>
<p>don’t combine…just put the GPA you have for your most recent institution and then send them transcripts from both schools</p>
<p>The OP has a year at both schools, all of those credits count into their gpa, not just the last year. If the application ASKS for cum gpa, it would be misleading to put only the last year’s gpa.</p>
<p>This is extremely simple math, and since they will have the transcripts for both schools, the college can recalculate the gpa if they want to take out a class, etc.</p>
<p>I was wondering the same thing. I spent my freshman year at my state’s flagship but this year I’m at the local campus of my state school. I asked the transfer advisor about it today and her answer was that I don’t combine them. I was under the impression that I should – but I believe her explanation was that whenever you transfer, your credits transfer over but your GPA doesn’t. When applying somewhere else you put the cumulative GPA from your most recent school, and the adcom will be able to see your GPA/credits from your previous school and calculate their own version of your GPA.</p>
<p>I asked other students who had transferred into my current school as well as an advisor – they all said the same thing. But admittedly this sounds odd to me, so I’m going to ask another advisor tomorrow…</p>
<p>^^^Sounds reasonable MM. Seems strange to me, but I’ll accept it if that’s the way it’s done. Seems like however you do it, as long as you state which grades were used in the calculations, you’re OK.</p>
<p>My D ran into a problem when she applied for a summer program that wanted cum gpa. That was a real challenge because her first school was the typical 15 units/sem as a normal load, but at her new school, they give 1 credit/class (with a few exceptions) and people take 4-5 classes per sem.</p>
<p>Does anyone know a college weight the GPAs from a transfer and 4-year upon graduation? I am just curious because USC says they combine the GPAs, however, they are not clear on how they weight them. This is a concern of mine since I will be applying for work after I graduate and it would be nice to be able enhance my average with my higher junior college GPA. Any advice</p>
<p>The only weighting I know of for college is the number of credits a class is worth. So an A in a 3 credit course is going to be given more weight in your cumm gpa than a 2 unit class (see the math in post #4).</p>
