No GPA as Junior Transfer - Applying Online for SA Roles

Hi,

Recently, I transferred from a CC to a university - I begin attending classes late September after most SA deadlines pass. I will not have a GPA at the school until after I finish that term.

When applying for SA roles online what should I enter my GPA as? (on the actual application, not my resume)

Should I use the GPA (above 3.5) from my previous school, despite the fact that it is not technically my current GPA?

Should I select "Other" as my grading scale and explain that I have no GPA as an incoming transfer?

Should I focus solely on networking and trying to forego the online application process altogether?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
