Hi everyone! I tried to search for this but couldn't find. On my transcript it says i have a course that was a DG, dropped grade, and it says I received 0 credit for it, but it's still on my transcript. I remember dropping the course after the deadline to drop courses but before any grade could be put in.
Does this mean this course is going to count as an F for my LSAC GPA?
Also, it says attempted credits 17 and passed credits 14 on my transcript, the course was a 3 hour course.

The fact that it counted as attempted credits with 0 credits earned makes it sound like it'll count as an F to me. A non-punitive withdraw (which I assume you would have gotten if you'd dropped it before the deadline) usually doesn't count as credits attempted.

Can you talk to your school about turning it into a retroactive withdrawal?

rinkrat, that's upsetting but thanks for your input

cinephile- sorry for my lack of knowledge but who would i go to for that? the registrar? also, what exactly is a retroactive withdrawal? I'm willing to try everything I can for that though. The second I get back to campus, I'm definitely going to try and change this!

And to make it worse, I didn't even fail any grades in that class. I just decided a bit too late that I had too much on my plate as a first semester freshman. i probably would have done well had I stayed and knew this would count against me! it's my mistake and i take responsibility for it, but seriously fu%# LSAC

Why not just talk to the registrar and explain your situation? Or the professor for that class and see what he/she can do for you?

Yeah, the registrar's going to be the first person I call tomorrow. After taking a closer look at the LSAC policies page, it states pretty clear what does and doesn't count as an F, and this class is going to.

Seeing as it was a 440 people class, I don't think the professor will do much for a student he doesn't know, but I'll try that out too.

Thanks for all your help, Cinephile.

send in your transcript, see what they do with it.

that's what they'll do with it
