GPA Question - Cumulative GPA or Adjusted GPA?

When a lot of these competitive internship opportunities such as GE ask you to have a certain gpa, do they mean your cumulative gpa(all the classes you've taken) or adjusted gpa(if you take a certain class over it replaces the old grade)? And also, considering that I'll be transferring to another school soon, my gpa will start over at the new school. I've been advised that in the future i should just put the "best gpa" on my resume but I'm afraid that this will bite me in the ass cuz HR for which ever company might look at the transcript for my new school and say something like, "where are all your other credits?"
