Quick: DS needs GPA for internship app-calculate from both colleges?

[Familia]

He attended 1-½ years at one, 1semester at the current one. It is acceptable/accurate for him to calculate them together?

TIA!

Hmm..they took the credits, but I don't think they transferred onto his new transcript. Of course, I haven't seen his new transcript. I will check back with him again.

Are both colleges listed on the application?  If so, I don't know what difference it would make if you combined GPAs.  Of course, if the formatting permits, I would break them out separately:  ABC U, 3.25; XYZ College, 3.75.

Good suggestion. There was a lot of negotiating happening since the big state Uni he's at now didn't want to take the smaller college humanities credits. It all worked out, but I'm not always privy to those types of details from him. (but I am still the person he goes to for help :-))

He such a geek! He just now sent me his unofficial transcript from current Uni. It's a 4.0. Adding the last college (that was just about as good) would only bring it down a little. If it were me, I just take the current one LOL

PS, you guys are great, thanks!

No, only freshman and part of sophomore year taken at first school.  He is currently a junior.

On the unofficial transcript from current school, all his past classes from former schools that received transfer credit are listed.  (One was dual credit chem from hs)

The 4.0 GPA, though, is only taking current school's classes into consideration.  I would go with that.  

BTW...Crazy child, when we asked him how he did last semester (his first semester back after last year's chemo for lymphoma), he shrugged his shoulder's and said, "Ok".  Now I see that 'Ok' was a 4.0!  No one would ever say we are the dramatic types!
