Degree Granting GPA vs. Cumulative

Post by Barbie » Tue Jun 29, 2010 12:52 am

I spoke with an advisor at FSU today (for another reason) but we got to talking and he told me that FSU will take your highest LSGPA, either your cumulative, or your degree granting institution. This changes the numbers DRASTICALLY for me (from a 3.3 to a 3.9!) Do any other schools do this??

I think he's full of shit.

Cumulative is the one that matters, as that's the one they have to report.
