Top Law Schools

So this is probably a common problem-- but I’m curious about something.

I went to a community college for my 1st 2 years, and graduated with a 3.02 gpa... mind you, this was long before I had any idea I wanted to go to LS.

I'm finishing up my BA this winter with a 3.96 gpa (my current college didn’t start with my old gpa because they considered it a "closed degree"), several academic awards and membership to the national English honor society (Sigma Tau Delta).

So my lsdas gpa (which I checked at lawschoolpredictor.com) is a 3.41, and I know there's nothing I can do about that-- but I'm wondering:

Are LS's going to notice and/or care about the improvement in my grades and my graduating gpa, which is much better than my LSDAS gpa??

Thanks for reading.

They won't care that much.

+1. It's like a small soft essentially.

Ouch.

Thanks guys. Do you think an addendum pointing out the improvements would be a help? or overkill??

Maybe slightly, but really the only way it'll matter at all is if you combine it with a really high LSAT score.
