calculating total GPA?

Question

hello I graduated from college in Dec. 2006

My ending GPA from that university was a 3.05 with 71 credits

I went to a community college prior to that university (in the same state) and received a GPA of 3.44 with 23 credits

and before that community college i had attended a community college in a different state and got a GPA of 3.63 with 49 credits.

almost all my general requirements were done at the 2 community colleges. however, transferring from one state community college to another state's community college I lost quite a few credits.

I am trying to applying for grad school and they're asking for the total GPA, how do I go about implementing those 3 different GPAs into one...
most schools are looking for a 3.00 GPA or above for all 3 years of college. Now i have an ending GPA of 3.05 at the university however I was only there for 2 years and one semester. The remaining years were at community colleges.

How would they count my GPA??

THANK YOU GREATLY!!!!

Answer 1

3.31 cumulative collegiate GPA

3.05 * 71 = 216.55
3.44 * 23 = 79.12
3.63 * 49 = 177.87
___ ______
143 473.54

473.54/143 = 3.311468531

Answer 2

When you transferred to the university level, you applied with your community college credits. It then became the university's job to figure out what classes counted and what the penalties were for dropping any classes, this is why your GPA dropped from one school to another (the rules changed). Since you finished at the university with all three schools credits showing, then your GPA would be 3.05. Now on a good note, I am finishing up my graduate studies and when I applied I didn't even meet their application standards of a 3.0. They required a portfolio of my previous work along with a letter of intent so I focus all my energies on this. I went so far as to seek the help of others and paid them for their time. I wish I would have known this sooner but you can even find internet services that will assist you in your writings (IE letter of intent) and they make it sound like you came out of Harvard when they are through with it. Good luck and stay persistent!

They will probably look at the GPA calculated and posted on your final transcript from the university where you were awarded you bachelor degree. Look at the end of you transcript, it should be pretty clear.
