Hello Everyone!
I need some help regarding my GPA. I have spoke with some LSAC employees and still feel a bit confused. In regards to classes that have been noted with academic forgiveness, what is the actual process for it not to count towards your lsat gpa? If the class and grade shows on transcript but is noted as AF(academic forgiveness) is it excluded?
Second, are all non level college courses excluded from GPA?
Lastly, are all DR(Dropped), N, NC, W, WS, etc. excluded from GPA calculation as well?
Sorry for any misconfusion, I'm just trying to figure out so I know the proper time to apply with a strong GPA to law school
Thank you all very much.
Hey Matt, thanks for the reply.
As far as the academic forgiveness what i'm confused about is this: Schools that forgive students for certain courses leave a mark on the transcript saying the courses have been forgiven. What LSAC wants is the class on the transcript that is forgiven doesn't show the original grade you received. For example if it was (Calculus 1 - E Academic Amnesty). So LSAC doesn't want to see the letter grade E for Calculus 1 you received just only the fact it shows Academic Amnesty. I called back spoke to someone else and then they said as long as it doesn't show you received credits for the courses its excluded. Then I got more confused. I'm going to speak to my school and call LSAC back and get a professional answer.
Also, for the second part you responded too, regarding the non-level college credit courses. Courses such as a very low math or english class that is not in the 100 range class like Beginning Algebra, since its such a low level class due to someone doing poorly on the placement test and starting low, LSAC has a guideline saying that remedial courses are excluded and that's what i was wanting to know.
Thanks again
