Community College credits for GPA?

Hi,

When I was in high school, I took around 60 credits at a local community college in classes such as biology, chemistry, physics, economics, and psychology. I included them on my application, and they've received my transcripts as well!

I was just wondering if the calculated GPA includes this GPA as well, and if schools look more at the separate GPAs or the GPAs together?

I have around a 3.4 < x < 3.5 GPA from my undergrad, but a 4.0 at the community college.

Thanks!

all GPAs are calculated... even the ones you took in high school

That will inflate your overall GPA ^_^ I had the same situation.
As for what schools will look at more, probably everything. But when they are doing their initial GPA cutoffs and what not, I am sure the overall higher GPA will help you.

Be careful though because some schools like Tufts and BostonU don't accept science pre-reqs taken at community/junior college.

Ah, thanks!

I fulfilled all of the prereqs at my undergrad 🙂 I just took some classes before at my CC as well! Although, I only took 1 semester of Calculus at my undergrad, but took another semester at my CC and I'm hoping that that will count for one year of math..
