Will non transferable course GPA affect my chance??

@ emilsinclair9:

It’s not the Calc class I’m worried about, which I got an A in, it’s the other classes I didn’t do too well in. What if I got a C+ in a very specialized/specific class (it was called “Texts & Ideas: The Deliberating Citizen”) that potentially might not be UC-transferable? And how do I find out if it is transferable or not in the first place?

My NYU GPA is 3.3 while my CCC GPA is a 4.0 right now. But if that C+ isn’t factored in because it’s determined as non-transferable, the UC-transferable GPA that they consider for admissions should be higher, right?

And wouldn’t they also consider the fact that NYU courses are significantly harder than CCC courses?

Sorry for all the questions but I just want to know which GPA I should be looking at to gauge my chances. If all my NYU grades are indeed transferrable, I’ll probably have to reconsider applying to Berkeley Haas or UCLA BizEcon because of my relatively low GPA…
