Greetings!
I'm new to the forum and had a quick question
I'm applying to a few schools (Haas, Anderson, Marshall, Stanford) and am not sure how to calculate the overall GPA.
I went to a community college for the first two years of college, transferred to a university, graduated, and then took additional community college classes post graduation.
For the cumulative GPA calculation, can I include the community college classes? Otherwise, it seems a bit redundant to have the same GPA for the final two years as well as the overall. Or is this a case-by-case question best answered by emailing each individual school?
Thank you!

What does your transcript says? The one you got at graduation from University? What is your overall GPA on that thing?
Usually, in GPA calculation, you would include all courses/classes that have been taken towards the degree, so for a 4-year degree it would be the community college + university.

Thank you for the reply!
The University transcript only includes classes taken at the University in the overall GPA calculation. So in this example the GPA is 3.3, which does not factor in the 3.5 I received from community college. At the beginning of the transcript it states the number of transfer credits received by the community college, but it has no indication of the GPA.
My only concern is that the new GPA that I will calculate will not be directly reflected in any single transcript. When you say I should only include credits earned toward my degree, does that mean I should not factor in post grad classes then?
Thank you very much!
