No, the grade is still listed on my official transcript. Any ideas on how to talk about it with the admissions committee if it ever came up? Pretty much, I took some classes and had some health issues over a year. This led to me getting some pretty atrocious grades. After retaking my GPA increased tremendously. I've seen some schools ask for JR/SR grades, so I'm wondering if many schools even care about the lower level grades.

Hi all, I've got an interesting question about how graduate schools calculate GPA. I go to Purdue where if you retake a class the old grade is removed from the GPA calculation. I'm getting ready to apply to graduate school and my advisor said that I put down the GPA that is on my transcript, but from what I've read online many say that they recalculate your GPA with all grades ever obtained. Do graduate schools actually recalculate your GPA or do they take what is on the official transcript? Which should I put down, my overall cumulative that I calculated, which is obviously lower, or the one that is on my official transcript? Thanks!
