I believe I have a strange situation regarding my LSAC GPA calculation. In high school I took dual-credit courses with the local junior college that partnered with my HS. We could take these courses that would give us college credit but would not count towards our college GPA; instead, the grade we received counted towards our HS GPA. The JC represented these courses on the transcript as a 'B' that was not calculated in the GPA and my University did the same with the added detail that it was a transfer credit from the JC. However, LSAC included these B's in my cumulative GPA. The coincidental part is that my cumulative GPA is the same whether or not those grades are included in the calculation since my cumlative GPA is a 3.03. The only difference if these grades are included is that some semesters they decrease my cumulative and other semesters they increase my cumulative. If I had actually studied in college and had a 4.0 I would be pissed that these B's were included in my cumulative when I actually earned A's as far as my HS is concerned, but since it's the same either way I don't know what I should do. Should I contact LSAC or the JC to say that these grades should not be included in the cumulative calculation? I would think it would look better to Law Schools if these courses were just listed as credits instead of B's even though the ending cumulative GPA calculation is the same no matter what.
Anyone have any thoughts on this confusing situation? Thanks!
Does anyone know what time of day LSAC starts releasing scores? I know they do it in batches, but I'm just planning when I need to be around my computer pointlessly refreshing my LSAC account (as if I haven't been doing that already lol)
