UG Transcripts Question wrt Transferring
Posted: Mon May 07, 2012 9:00 pm
Hey everyone. Quick question regarding transcripts and the transferring process (couldn't find much on the Forum Search, but maybe that's because I took a civpro test this afternoon and am fried):
LSAC has the transcripts I submitted to them originally, both from my UG degree-granting institution and the local university from which I took classes while in high school. The one from my degree-granting institution on file with LSAC, however, is only current through 7 semesters (ie, when I applied to Law Schools) out of 8 (I sent the official, completed-8-semesters-you-got-a-degree-transcript directly to my law school).
Do I need to submit the completed transcript, showing my 8-semester UGPA and the fact that I was, indeed, awarded a degree, to LSAC? If, as I assume, that is so, what's the protocol for "updating" a transcript? I can't find anything on the website to "update" transcripts; do they do this automatically? Will schools accept them directly? (this last option would obviously be more of a hassle, sending an individual transcript to any school I might apply to, but would remove the LSAC processing time and assure more directly that it got there)
I'd appreciate advice from anyone, especially people who applied as 0Ls before they received their degrees (ie K-JDs).
Thanks
