Now, grades, that might make a difference for graduate school, definitely. I've read some graduate programs will definitely want a computed GPA...
Potentially a huge factor- thank you!!
Plus, might be nice for latin honors...

Here's an idea.
119 credits transferred in, no grade.
1 credit from Info Literacy, easy A.
Hey grad school, look at my 4.0 GPA.
If they want to see your transcript, show them all your transcripts and just tell them you transferred them all in to your final school to get the diploma. You have good grades so nothing to hide.

Ha, that's not actually a bad idea...are you talking about TESC then? But this from another post:
[INDENT]NJMedic is correct...TESC does not award Latin honors. They award the Arnold Fletcher Award for "for achieving excellence in nontraditional learning" with 90 or more non-traditional credits, and induction into the Alpha Sigma Lambda National Honor Society which recognizes academic excellence for nontraditional students who have achieved a GPA of at least 3.2 and are among the top 10% of those who qualify (you must also have 60 TESC graded credits of which 12 are in liberal arts/sciences).[/INDENT]
Excelsior awards latin honors...and takes the two GPAs, transfer and assorted test whatnot, combines them with internal GPA, to produce your new GPA, voila! Or should I say: 'cum laude'?

Well, I pulled the trigger and applied to EC. If I don't like how the credits seem to stack up, though, TESC may still be an option.
