Other than going through recruitment as a sophomore, what is your concern about the grades?

Right, I know it's kind of hard to understand...my school does not count your transfer credits towards your GPA. They only count credits that you have earned at the school for your GPA. So, at my new school I had 3 Bs and 1 B-, which left me with a 2.97. My grades that I earned from the other school are on my transcript, but they do not count towards your GPA. It's kind of ridiculous and really annoying

Gotcha. Most schools don't count the previous college GPA (just the credits), but I thought you meant you had earned both GPA's at your previous school and you were going to be transferring this fall. Sorry - I didn't read carefully.
