Frankly, I feel looking at your overall Freshman year GPA is better than just Spring Semester GPA because it is a better "picture" of your Freshman year. I think the fact that your new University does not use that transfer GPA in THEIR calculations, does not mean you should not use it. JMO

Respectfully disagree with your reasoning here. I work at a university and I have heard and seen countless creative ways that people try to manipulate facts. Bottom line:
You cannot average GPAs from two very different higher ed institutions. It is simply not done, and that is why the credits will transfer, but not the grades. There is absolutely no way to level the playing field in comparing school A and school B.
OP, tell the truth. Do not lie. EVER. Do not manipulate the facts. The reality is simple: you jumped from a pond into the ocean and it was an adjustment. Plain and simple.
Stop stressing about recruitment. What's done is done. Get your best game on and go out there and play. Good luck!
