Hope2bSLP Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It is extremely low compared to my last 60 hours or CSD classes.. Anyone know why? My university transcript says my cummulative GPA is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My university transcript says my cummulative GPA is different. I'm not sure why your cumulative GPA would be different from the one that CSDCAS calculates, unless certain classes just don't count towards your degree. Or unless your cumulative GPA on your university transcript includes your most recent semester, with grades that didn't post in time for submission to CSDCAS. PS: Where did you even find your cumulative GPA for CSDCAS? Do they email it to you once you have been verified? My transcripts were verified today but I don't see any kind of section dealing with my cumulative GPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxHope Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Mine was lower too, by about 0.15 point if I recall correctly. It can be seen by viewing your completed application. It opens in a PDF and somewhere in the 10+ pages it is listed. I retook a couple classes. I am guessing it computed both the lower grade and the latest grade, not just the latest grade.

Jolie717 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 That makes sense - I remember CSDCAS mentioning that classes taken again would be averaged with the original class taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope2bSLP Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 I did retake a few classes, would you recommend I email the school's I've applied to? Let them know I retook classes to improve my GPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koalalover1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Did you take college credits in high school? That impacted mine, which is annoying but it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows why Yeah, it's a real bummer! I took these classes before I knew what I even wanted to do (I wanted to be a teacher at that time but I wasn't sure), so I aimed for B's (they were college credit calculus and chemistry, and I got a B in both) but I got A's in my other ones I took! And all we needed to do to get the credit was get a C in the class because we paid for it, and it was supposed to show up as an A. I mean, I was 16 and 17 taking these classes so I didn't delve into it as much as I should have ) I hope that schools can look past that, but I doubt it.... ughhh. But they could figure it because after first semester of freshman year I had 41 credits. At least they can see it was my "freshman" year of college, right?!
