Which is your actual GPA when you graduate?

Colleges & Universities University of California - Berkeley

<p>So I’m double majoring, and I seem to have 3 different GPAs: one for MCB, one for psych, and one for UC GPA. </p>

<p>Which one counts for grad school? And if you were to graduate with distinction/honors, which GPA do they look at? If my GPA is a 3.8 would that mean I can graduate with honors in MCB & psych? or is it distinction in the college of L&S??</p>

<p>Thanks :D</p>

<p>What do you mean by “grad school”?</p>

<p>PhD programs probably look at your record holistically, with emphasis on courses relevant to your PhD major.</p>

<p>Medical schools recalculate GPAs, looking at overall and biology/chemistry/physics/math GPAs, counting courses at all colleges.</p>

<p>Law schools recalculate GPAs, looking at overall GPA, counting courses at all colleges.</p>

<p>But your Berkeley transcript will record your overall UC GPA as calculated by Berkeley (UC GPA will include grades from courses taken at other UCs).</p>
