I’m an international transfer student ~40 credit hours transferring to a university on incoming spring. I understand that after I transfer, only my credits will go through but not my gpa. What if I finished the spring semester, and would like to transfer to another better university, which gpa will they look at? For example if I obtained a 2.8gpa on my new university, can I use that gpa for admission or it has to be recalculated since my freshman year?
Whenever you apply for admission to a degree program in the US, the place that you apply to will need all of your academic transcripts, and they will decide for themselves how to calculate your GPA.
