LSAC GPA - Didn't count a low grade Forum

[westie25]

I'm not complaining, but I was surprised that LSAC didn't count a 'D' in my GPA calculation. Is this common? Thanks to my Associate's degree & my academic work during my undergrad now, I only had a minimal GPA drop. My first year in college years ago resulted in a few 'C's and that lovely 'D,' and I was worried my GPA would drop a lot. Did LSAC possibly ignore the 'D,' because it was so long ago and my grades since then have been almost all 'A's with a few 'B's?

You should probably report it. I mean, you don't want this coming up at C&F, do you?

There's no time limit for grades, as far as I know. They counted college credit I earned in high school and that was almost a decade ago. You sent in all relevant transcripts, right? If so, I wouldn't worry about it. Perhaps your D falls under an arcane rule which excludes it. I don't think it's very likely they screwed up. If you're really paranoid, read through LSAC's transcript policies.

As long as you submit all transcript and did not hide anything, I don't think it could screw up even at C&F....

+1. I was just giving you a hard time OP. You did what you had to do. It's not your fault they fucked up.

They don't care how old it is, they counted my community college grades from 1993.
There may be some other reason they didn't count it, I don't know, but definitely not because it was old and you have better grades now, I can tell you that much.

But if you notice the mess up and don't report it, that can create problems.

OP - call them up. If it's the only thing they didn't count, there's probably a reason for it. But better to get it straightened up now than when someone reviews your file 4 years from now.
