Hey, so I went to Penn State for two years, but all I did was party. Both fall semesters were withdrawals, and out of the seven courses I actually finished--I got like a 3.15 GPA.

Fast forward, second year at SJU, almost 60 credits, etc. My transferred classes don't contribute to my GPA, so I have a 3.8 right now.

Dumb question, but when I start applying to med schools, do I need to include PSU?
Yup. Everything, including transcripts and institutional actions (alcohol/drug violations?) must be reported. So rough math, you are looking at a ~3.6 GPA and 8 W's.
