Top Law Schools

Curious, what is the highest number of non-punitive Ws you had on transcript and still got into law school or a decent law school? what was your gpa/lsat score as well?

Cycle in profile

All mine were because either because the class had to much of a value on attendance or I didn't like the teacher. Didn't write any explanation

4-5. 3/4 or 4/5 were for medical reasons, while the remaining one was for scheduling. Didn't hurt me since I wrote an addendum.

FYP.

I can't remember the exact number I had, but it was in the neighborhood of 6. No addendum, made no difference, I'm at H now.

0, tho i got a punitive W for not showing up to class lololololol

lukertin, just curious what school it was, as i didnt think Ws were punitive?

I had 3 non-punitive Ws, going to CLS this fall off of waitlist. So it can happen.

It showed up as a Required Withdrawal, as opposed to Voluntary Withdrawal. There's a difference, and I would think the first one is 'punitive'.

0. I'm surprised people here have so many withdrawals. I didn't know it was this common.

Yo:

Chill the fuck out about withdrawals.

I am surprised people have a great deal of Withdrawals too (as I have a few). Since LSAC is inconsistent in how they treat them, I talked to someone who went the same undergrad as me who applied to law school and he said his Ws were omitted. Do you think that if they are omitted for one person at the same school, they will for myself too. Do they have a guide before they summarize transcripts of what is omitted for each school or do they individually look at how each W is worded?
