Gpa conversion help Forum

I have a trouble to estimate my converted gpa because of school grading system and transferred history. Because of my interest change(not shifted but developed specifically), i spent just one semester in one of top20 universities in us for american history, but ruined the grade... Totally didnt have any idea they will affect my future concern.

I moved to the top art school in us, and interestingly, they just provide pass or fail grade and i could complete in a very successful with the high level classes..

Even just one semester.. Because the first university only has the numerical record.. I dont know how lsac can provide the accumulative one. And the transferred school, they just admitted one course from the primary one so that it seems i am not likely 'transferred'..

There was no determined plan until i began my study of master in the best university (now abroad) for international studies.. that would like to apply for the law school to strengthen my interest of patent or copyright law internationally, especially art or culture related.. I have very good support to explain my want with the big experiences in government institutions, but afraid if the undergrad gpa would worse my opportunity..
I was always the best student and very confident with lsat score..
How this could be reflected to my chance?

Plus, now i am a graduate student, and the university has the numerical transcript system... And my grade is a-a+.. Just one semester passed so my law school apply will begin next year.. I could read many comments that grad transcript is not strongly supportive for their gpa considerations. What do you think?

Thank you for your fast reply. I was writing in hurry during the working hours, so I add up details of my study.
By the way, I am a green card holder, I've studied in state since the middle school year, but currently out of state for my experiences after graduation.. so I have a plan to go back to state to continue my interest.

Art degree is my first and final undergrad degree, no more is achieved. I would like to prove my good academic performance made during around four years of study in art even without GPA, but not threatened by one semester grade from previous university. Make clear, I have one bachelor degree in art, attended one semester in one university in US and around four years in another institution, also in US. Many of my art school alumni could go to the top grad schools even with this GPA issue, but this case is Law school and lsac takes the responsible with GPA conversion that I feel nervous... maybe better to make a personal contact to the representative sooner.

Of course, I will message you when I really need your help, thanks

Lastly, my current grad study is about international politics and does a individual research of soft power in international relationship.

Sasha
