Summer School Counted In LSAC GPA?

I just found out that I didn't submit my summer school transcript. Could I estimate the GPA before submitting it on CAS?

I'm pretty sure that LSAC will calculate the GPA for you.

yes, summer classes count

thanks! Just want to make sure it won't drag my GPA @stgl1230 @TheMikey

I wonder if my school accounted transferred credits. Would it be the same GPA?

I transferred schools, and they took my credits but started me with a fresh GPA. I'm not too sure what you're asking about though, but it sounds like it's something you should ask your school about.

Thanks. And if I get another master degree(one-year), will it counted into my GPA?

The LSAC considers your grades at all college-level schools you attend when they create your GPA.

So, say you went to a CC for two years before transferring to a university. Your GPA at the university didn't count your CC GPA, but LSAC will. In other words, if you had a 3.0 at CC and graduated with a 4.0 from a university, your LSAC GPA isn't 4.0. It's 3.5

I don't think your masters GPA factors into your LSAC GPA. I believe the LSAC GPA is specifically for your undergraduate work. However, law schools will look at your master's grades when they see your application.
