CAS Transcript Question

Post by aibohphobia » Tue Jul 08, 2014 5:52 pm

LSAC specifies that college level coursework taken while in high school must be reported. From what I have read on here, most people have said AP classes taken in high school dont count/dont need to be reported. People were saying that even though one received credit for an ap course in college, it has no impact on your LSAC GPA. I was wondering if the same is true of summer camp classes? What if you went to a summer camp where you studied college level coursework but it wasn't for college credit though it could be redeemed if you wanted to try to do so. It was like the Governor's school programs that many southern states have. Would you be obligated to report those grades? My problem is not that my grades were bad, but I'm not even sure the institution keeps them.

Did you have them transferred toward your undergrad degree? If so, then they'll show up on your UG transcript. If not, then don't report.

I finally got a straight answer from LSAC. They said if they were in any way redeemable for college credit you must report them. Doesn't matter if they don't show up on my undergraduate institution transcript or that it was basically a summer camp for high school kids.

Did you use them for your current degree? Ie. did you get credit for them towards your degree?

I did not use them in any way for my undergraduate degree (no credit for my transcript, not mentioned in my application, and not used to get out of a prerequisite course). It was just a summer camp I went to when in high school where the classes were "college level" and could thus be used for college credit. LSAC lady did not take pity though. Oh well, I wasn't too surprised by it.
