University of California Transfer Students Fall 2007 OFFICIAL THREAD!!!

[UCLAri]

<p>luvtoolearn,</p>

<p>It says it’s not a UCLA transcript because it’s my record, not a trascript. It’s a slightly different beast, but the mechanics are the same.</p>

<p>

UCLAri, congratulations on your great transcript. Whether or not it transferred over for you, the people who ATTENDED CC and are transferring to a UC and have contacted admission counselors to inquire have found that gpa does transfer over. In addition, I heard it from a TAG workshop for UCSD and from a UCSD counselor. Keep in mind, this is for UCSD, so if you guys are so curious about UCLA and CAL, go call the respective admissions counselors from those schools.

</p>

<p>I also attended a CC, so I know what happened to my GPA.</p>

[Yams]

<p>wow UCLAri, great GPA!</p>

[Sweetny007]

<p>^nobody is disagreeing with the above. Many of you are looking at the issue as too black and white. What we mean by the gpa does not transfer is that you will not start at your new school with your current gpa NOT that it does not get looked at cumulatively after you graduate. For instance the honors you get at graduation from undergrad will be determined by your new school gpa not your ccc gpa.</p>

<p>For the record I have been researching transfering for years and have spoken with counselors from all of my potential schools. The gpa does NOT transfer.</p>

[UCLAri]

<p>Okay, here’s some more information on GPA from CCs…</p>

<p>This is from the UCLA Global Studies major site:</p>

<p>

Courses taken at a community college will be considered Lower Division only. Note that once you have accumulated 105 units, you will not earn additional unit credit for courses taken at a community college. Such courses, however, can still be used to fulfill course requirements, i.e., you will receive course credit. Unit credit will still be earned for courses taken at another four-year institution despite your unit accumulation, however, grades will not transfer unless courses are taken at a University of California campus.

<p>This is from undergrad admissions:</p>

<p>

You may attend summer session at a four-year institution or University Extension after you become a UCLA student. Grades earned in a regular summer session at another UC campus are computed in your GPA; grades earned during summer session non-UC institutions are not computed in your GPA. The University Extension catalogs provide information regarding the transferability of their courses. Review this information prior to enrolling.

<p>This is from the MCD Bio major page:</p>

<p>

Can I take a course at a community college and transfer it to UCLA?
This can be a good option, but… **The grades won’t transfer in (grades only transfer from other UCs). **

<p>Please, trust me guys…I know what I’m talking about.</p>

[iummmmhii]

<p>UCLAri - Why are you posting Global Studies major rules. That’s global studies and they are pertaining to wheather they are going to accept grades from other schools for THAT department to get their certification(MAJOR).
NOT CUMULATIVE GPA. When you graduate from UC and when you have to put your GPA down either for RESUME or GRAD SCHOOL you put down cumulative GPAs including CC. How do i know this? cuz my friend is applying for Grad school and that is the GPA that matters. Not separate UC and CC GPA.</p>

[west_nile]

<p>hey UCLAri,
why is UCSD in your location?</p>

[UCLAri]

<p>I’m a grad student over here at UCSD.</p>

[Sweetny007]

<p>“When you graduate from UC and when you have to put your GPA down either for RESUME or GRAD SCHOOL you put down cumulative GPAs including CC. How do i know this? cuz my friend is applying for Grad school”</p>

<p>Nobody is disputing that. Please reread what we are talking about before you post.</p>

[iummmmhii]

<p>then what are you talking about? Isn’t that the whole point of what GPA is?
Which GPA that actually matters? Why are we even talking about separate UC GPA that doesn’t even matter
when it actually comes to Grad school or JOBS?</p>

[Sweetny007]

<p>The discussion is about whether or not your gpa transfers from your ccc to a uc. It is not about whether grad school looks at both of them or not.</p>

[UCLAri]

<p>iummmmhii,</p>

<p>I happen to already be in grad school, so I guess that means I’m even another step ahead of your buddy. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>When you apply to grad school, yes, sometimes your grades from CC will go into your total calculation. However, your UC GPA is only determined by UC grades and in some cases those taken abroad.</p>

[UCLAri]

<p>

then what are you talking about? Isn’t that the whole point of what GPA is?
Which GPA that actually matters?

</p>

<p>Not all schools look at your grades before the junior and senior year. Some only look at upper division coursework. Others only look at courses taken at the university. “Grad school” is a far too broad term that doesn’t mean much outside of “I’m going to school after my baccaulareate.”</p>

[bobbak]

<p>off topic question.
i cant remember if a D gives you points still to calculate into your gpa, cause i know an F obviously gives you zero.</p>

[UCLAri]

<p>A D should be a 1 on the 4 point scale.</p>

[iummmmhii]

<p>Gees guys… why are you trying to confuse us? the whole point is CC grade matters. Not weather it transfer to UC gpa or not. Who cares if it doesn’t transfer to UC gpa. At the end when you apply for job you put down culmulative GPA not just UC GPA. Sames goes for Grad schools. and Grad school does not mean i am going to any school after my bachelor’s degree. It means for masters degree for most of us. and when you apply for masters your CC GPA counts</p>

[bobbak]

<p>UCLAri, thats what I thought. thanks!</p>

[Sweetny007]

<p>Iummmmhi, posters were asking if ccc gpa transfers to the uc. This is the question I was answering. I am not sure where you got lost. lol</p>

[UCLAri]

<p>

and Grad school does not mean i am going to any school after my bachelor’s degree.

</p>

<p>Yeah, it pretty much does. Graduate school is pretty much just schooling after a bachelor’s. To say “grad school” can mean anything from med school to getting a PhD in philosophy. It’s always best to be clearer with your terms.</p>

<p>

At the end when you apply for job you put down culmulative GPA not just UC GPA.

</p>

<p>Well…no. I only put down my UC GPA. It’s the most meaningful because it’s the one that UCLA reports on my transcript. Since they’re my degree granting institution, it’s really the only one that matters for me. </p>

<p>

when you apply for masters your CC GPA counts

</p>

<p>This really depends. Some grad programs, like many engineering MAs, don’t look at grades before the upper division (junior and senior) level, rendering CC GPAs meaningless.</p>

[Sweetny007]

<p>nvm lalalalala</p>

[lostincode]

<p>luvtoolearn: the UC person you asked is misinformed</p>
