GPAs From Different Schools: Combine or Not?

by Longzon88 » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:44 pm
Looking for some expert advice here.

I went to a community college for two years before transferring to Berkeley/Virginia/UCLA. My GPA at the CC was ~3.9 and my GPA at the school to which I transferred was a 3.4. Combined it comes out to ~3.6.

Obviously, I would prefer to present the combined 3.6 GPA and make a note on the application explaining it. Is this acceptable or will this result in an automatic ding? Targeting top 7 schools...

Thanks!

You will likely have to put your GPA for both institutions separately. Bummer, I know, but that is how the info will be requested.
