Has anyone encountered having to provide a college-official GPA breakdown sheet/ "transcript explanation"? Like their grading scale and how the school calculates GPA in addition to transcripts? Neither of my colleges provided this and I had to go hunting online on the "online catalogs" to get it. I thought it was the weirdest request and my recruiter (my 4th) insisted it was needed. I wondered if maybe only certain universities provide this in the transcript automatically so maybe that's why I had to hunt? But both my community college and then the college I got my degree from had no idea what the hell I was talking about when I called to ask. Luckily pages from the online catalog were enough to satisfy the need.
Also ScrtSqrl, I think the powers-that-be take however many colleges you attended and the separate GPAs and divides it by total credits attempted or something to calculate the cumulative GPA. At least, that's what my recruiter told me when I panicked at my first college's GPA weighing in on my stellar second college's GPA. It wasn't brought down too much thankfully.
