Self-study
Hey everyone! This might be a silly question but I was wondering if law schools view your first institution GPA and secondary institution as two separate GPA's or just your cumulative GPA? I graduated from community college with my Associates and then transferred to university for my Bachelors. TIA!

Once you have CAS in LSAC, you can click Academic Summary Report inside of Transcripts and it will show you Cumulative and Institutional GPA. Cumulative is every single undergrad class you've taken while institutional is your degree's GPA. (There is not an institutional GPA for every school you've been to. Only the one you graduate from with a bachelor's.) Law school's look at both.
You can also use a CAS calculator, but I've heard they can be slightly off.
They will count all courses that were used for your undergraduate degree. I'm 99.99% sure that you will receive one, CAS GPA, which they calculate separately from your institution GPA. You can find CAS GPA calculators online and get a good estimate of what your score will be. Remember that dual credit classes taken in high school also count as well.
