Hey, everyone! I'm a junior thinking about my GPA, and I was wondering if there's a way to add two GPAs together from different schools? I transferred between schools and I'm not sure if it'll affect my college admissions process. Thank you for any input!
It's important to remember that each high school may have its own unique grading system, so combining GPAs from different schools might not provide an accurate representation of your academic performance. However, when you apply to college, admissions officers will look at your transcripts from both schools and evaluate your academic progress at each school separately. Colleges often recalculate your GPA based on their own grading scales, so they can fairly compare applicants from different schools, so it might not even matter that much that you have two GPAs.
