My question relates to this discussion as I am in a similar situation. I have attended 7 institutions as follows:
1 was in high school
1 was 2 years at the wrong college after high school
1 was where I received my bachelors degree
2 were credits I took to complete my bachelors degree
1 was where I completed a masters degree
1 was where I took additional courses to help in my pursuit of a PhD (current)
My GPA from the institution where I received a bachelors degree is low; I took a total of 36 credits and earned a 2.91. At all the other institutions I received a 4.0 or very close to it. Does anyone have experience with this? How did you calculate your GPA? My true undergraduate GPA (all courses taken) would be something around 3.5 but this is not what is reported on my transcript (bachelor-degree granting institution). Finally, do I need to send in transcripts for the courses I took in high school? Given the sheer number of institutions on my record, I feel like it just adds to the cacophony.
