My school, a top 10 undergrad, allowed me to take two courses over the summer at community college and transfer those credits in. I got D's in the courses, but I didn't care because I was only taking it for credit(and it only shows up on my transcript as credit).
However, is LSAC going to include these transcripts in their GPA calculation for me? That would be god awful. Should I even send these transcripts to LSAC or just leave them off.
How does LSAC handle transcripts from other schools? Forum

Re: How does LSAC handle transcripts from other schools?
The LSAC transcript guide makes it very clear that you send EVERY transcript from EVERY school you've attended, regardless of if your diploma granting school shows all these colleges on their transcript. I just went through this process as I had to send a transcript from my high school dual-enrollment class I took at a local CC to show the one course I took though, even though my UG transcript showed this just fine.testmachine45 wrote:My school, a top 10 undergrad, allowed me to take two courses over the summer at community college and transfer those credits in.

In summary, yes and yes unfortunately. The grade hit is probably not as bad as if LSAC learns you misled them by leaving it off and slaps you with a conduct irregularity.

You have to forward the community college transcript to LSAC, and it will be calculated into your LSDAS GPA.testmachine45 wrote:My school, a top 10 undergrad, allowed me to take two courses over the summer at community college and transfer those credits in.
