Do graduate schools count community college GPA?

[coffeebeforebed_]

So my community college GPA is higher than my university GPA (I struggled quite a bit with working a few jobs while studying). Many institutions say that they require a minimum of a 3.0 from the institution where you have earned or will earn your bachelor's degree. What if the GPA from the degree-granting institution was a 2.9 and the GPA from the community college was a 3.7? Do they not count that at all? And what if you have done a master's and you are applying to PhD programs. Will programs take that to account or just throw away your application immediately since you have a 2.9 from your degree-branding institution?

Your community college GPA will be combined with the GPA from the University you transferred to in order to complete your Bachelor's.  For fields that don't require a Master's degree to enter a PhD program, those degrees are usually viewed separately.  In some cases a high GPA in a Master's program can help an applicant that didn't do well in undergrad.
