Transferred during undergrad...relevance of old GPA?

[fuzzywuz]

Hey all,

I spent one year at my first undergrad and took Gen Chem (A-, A-) and Bio (B-, B). Top tier university.

The following year, I transferred to an Ivy league university and finished my undergrad career there. Aside from the first year hiccup (crappy orgo grades C+, and B-), I've maintained a consistent upward trend.

My question is... I know that all grades would count when entering it into AMCAS. However, when med schools look at it, do they count the school where I finished my undergrad career more heavily?

Thanks!!

they probably just look at your gpa and the ug that you graduated from.

Everything is weighted by units, no matter where you took the class. I.E. a 3 unit class at your first institution is weighted the same as a 3 unit class at your graduating one.

Yeah I figured... my old school typically weighed their courses with 4 credits. At my current school, a course of the same caliber would yield only 3 credits...

I guess the only thing I have going for me is an upward trend.
