Transfer credits = Better GPA?
Favorite Answer
When I transferred, they accepted all my previous credits that were C or better and then they completely wiped my GPA clean. In other words, my GPA started over at my new school.
Call the school you’re transferring to and ask about this. They may or may not let you retake the class for a new grade (some places will average the two) or they may wipe your slate clean like they did at mine.
By the way, for college, a 3.4 is pretty good, so don’t be too worried.
Good luck!
So your GPA will be higher, but the C will still be on the transcript. There is no way to get rid of it. You can’t pretend like you never took a class/never got a certain grade.
Keep in mind that you will have a few GPA’s once you transfer. The one from the previous school (3.4), the one from the new school (whatever it is), and a merged GPA of the two. They mostly count the latter two.
