Conccurent Enrollment Grades, LSAC GPA, etc
Posted: Tue Feb 09, 2010 9:53 pm
As happens so often in life I am kicking myself for having taken 4 concurrent enrollment classes from a local community college when I was a junior/senior in high school. I did poorly in them but got serious about life and after taking a two year break from school to live in a foreign country, went back to school and have maintained a 4.0 GPA as a Spanish major with a double minor in accounting and business management. I will graduate next year, I took the Feb LSAT (so that if it doesn't go well I can retake in June) and am getting ready to apply in the fall. I found out that if I take 12 credit hours from that community college (I am attending a university on the other side of the state) they will give me academic amnesty on those grades and replace them. My questions are these: (1) Is it worth is to go back and retaking the classes? (2) Will LSAC count those grades from my junior year in high school when they calculate my GPA? (3) Will a law school look deeper into my transcript to see that they were concurrent enrollment and that I have actually held a 4.0 since leaving high school? I really want to get into Duke and so I figure I need to have my numbers as high as I can get them. What do you all think? (By the way while I have used TLS for sometime, I am new to the forum, hello all)
