another question about course withdrawals
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 7:07 pm
I know when different ones inquire about the effect of Withdrawal grades on an applicants LSAC gpa, most reply with "send in your transcript and see what happens" but before I do that, I just wanted to get feedback regarding course withdrawals on my transcript.
As it says on the LSAC website, W grades are excluded unless the issuing school deems them to be punitive. From my below description, does it sound like these will be deemed as non-punitive Withdrawals?
1. On my schools transcript legend it states, W = not computed in gpa
2. Other people from my school that have applied to law school in previous years that had W's, said there's were not computed in LSAC gpa
3. I looked on one of the posts someone uploaded on here, where you enter your school and it tells you what is excluded, and it showed W's from my school are excluded.
From all this, I gather that my W's will not effect my gpa, but has anyone had any experience where LSAC mis-calculated a gpa, especially when W's were involved?
