I don't know
This may be a stupid question, but so far everyone seems to have a different answer. When an institution wants your upper level GPA, are they talking about classes taken the last two years, classes needed for the major, or 3000+ level courses? I was thinking the last one... and hoping so, since that's my best bet. Makes the most sense to me anyway. Does anyone know for sure? Otherwise I'll just risk looking dumb and ask the university. Thanks in advance for the input.

The info I looked up states that upper level is any course after 60 hours was obtained, personally if my 3000+ looked better I would include it instead and argue differences in interpretation. Thats just my opinion though.
Assuming Chris is correct, this would also refer to your last two years of classes...or more specifically, your major classes. Most places (including employer) are not interested in your GPA from electives, fillers, general requirements, etc. They only want your GPA from the core major classes, in my instance, my finance classes. Hope that helps!
You don't have to look too dumb since you can call the admissions office of whatever you are applying to and ask anonymously. That is your best bet.
I agree with Thej...call the Admin office
All my 3000+ courses were for my major, and almost all were taken in my last two years. But for example I took phy2053 and 2054 senior year and freaking lucked out w/ a C (stupid physics)... so I didn't know how that fit in because I obviously would love to leave those out of my calculation. They were required for the major, but are not prereq's for the grad programs. Whatever, I'm confused. Anonymous calling it is. Thanks though, guys.
