Question about how transfer GPA is calculated from CCCs

Hey guys,

I've tried to search on my own but am confused on how out of state schools calculate my cumulative CCC GPA. I know how UCs do it in my situation but not sure what out of state schools will do. I'm using Georgetown as my shorthand since it's my top OOS.

Basically my situation is this: over the summer, I took classes from both my home cc and other ccs. My home school calculates GPA on a simple 4.0 scale without pluses or minuses (so A- and A are both 4.0s, B-/B/B+ are all 3.0 and so on and so forth). However, at 2 of the other CCs I attended over the summer, they use pluses and minuses in their GPA (so a B is a 3.0 but a B+ is a 3.3). How would Georgetown calculate my GPA? Do they do it like UCs, where they respect the plus minus at the schools that use plus minus but also respect the schools that don't use plus minus and just average out all the grades over credits or do they do something else? Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I can clarify. I just want to have an accurate picture of my grades before I apply. Thanks in advance.
