Raising Your GPA for Entrance into a Graduate Program In another thread, Howard was talking about how he raised his GPA. Ironically, I fall into the same boat: My first two years was at a community college. I didn't crack open a book for most of the classes and my GPA was about a 2.1. Sixteen years later, I transferred to a four year college to complete a bachelors degree. Being more studious and mature (and paying the tuition myself ), my GPA was about a 3.4. For entrance into our cohort-graduate program, they only look at the last two years of coursework. Whew!
