How many times are transferred courses counted by LSAC?

Hi everyone,

I transferred to another college at the end of my freshman year, and of course I took some courses at my old school and most of them were later accepted by my new school. As a result, the accepted courses appear on both of my transcripts (from old and new schools), but they are labelled as transferred course on the transcript of my new school. My question is that when LSAC computes my GPA, do they count those twice-appeared courses twice or just once? Thanks!

Pretty sure they count those twice.

This is absolutely right. I misread...I thought you re-took the classes at your second school. Reading, as always, is fundamental.
