Transfer GPA during OCI

Thinking ahead to OCI, just wondering if I should expect to have to report my GPA from my previous school? I'm going to be a spring part-time transfer, meaning I have 4 years of law school, and I'm entering my new school after 1.5 years and will be doing OCI during the end of my 2nd year (with an SA during the summer of my 3rd year). I will thus have one semester to generate a GPA at my new school before OCI... Should I still expect to be asked about my GPA from my previous school if I'll have a GPA on my resume from my new school? Thanks for any guidance!

Yes, you will need to include both GPA's and transcripts for OCI. FWIW I have been told that you keep your old school/GPA on until graduation but I am not 100% sure on that.

I'm surprised you have to include both transcripts as well! Is this something that you've been asked for specifically? Because I've looked at some OCI postings before at my old school and they did not specify anything like this...

In answer to your last question, you probably won't be asked about your old GPA unless you fail to include it.

I am a little different because I didn't have any grades at my new school. I would keep an old transcript with you just in case, you may not need it at OCI, but definitely include your old school and GPA on your resume (why not? I am assuming your grades are really good).
