So I checked my Academic Summary Report and my cumulative GPA is 2.49, but when I look on my transcript my school has my GPA as 3.5
I had a horrible couple of years in junior college where I earned D's and F's routinely. I was able to retake each class where I had a bad grade and received A's and B's.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there any way I can get LSAC to show the 3.5 rather than the 2.49?

Yes, this is standard LSAC practice. No, there's nothing much you can do, other than maybe writing a GPA addendum in your law school applications, or somehow convincing your junior college the classes should be left off the transcript.masked kavana wrote:Has this happened to anyone else?

Re: Help with GPA
fwiw, no school is going to discount your juco grades. They may interpret it slightly differently (you may be viewed slightly better than another 2.5 gpa applicant), but you're still a 2.5 gpa applicant. Since it factors into their medians, it matters. They care. It'll hurt ya. Not much you can do except crush the LSAT and hope that a school will take a super hardcore splitter.
