# Internship applications after transferring: schools, GPA and graduation dates

## A correct calculation can still answer the wrong GPA question

Fictional records use the same four-point scale. For this arithmetic exercise, the listed credits are GPA-bearing credits. The application asks for the current university's cumulative GPA.

### Two separate institutional records

| Institution | GPA | GPA-bearing credits |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Prior college | 3.70 | 40 |
| Current university | 3.30 | 10 |

## Your turn

Should the student enter 3.30, the simple average 3.50, or the credit-weighted calculation 3.62?

## Your answer

[Write your approach here.]

## For your own application

Attach each GPA to its institution and definition. Combine records only when the application supplies an appropriate method.
