Do I need to submit a transcript if I withdrew after one semester?

FlyEaglesFly

Hi all -

I attended a Doctoral program in Fall of 2014, hated it, realized I had to make some serious career path changes, and withdrew after 1 semester. Unfortunately, while I attended all classes until the end of the semester, my grades were deplorable, as I was pretty checked out. And I mean deplorable.

Do I assume correctly that regardless of the fact I withdrew so quickly, I still need to send in my transcript to LSAC?

This period in my life is pretty well addressed in my personal statement and an addendum, but any other suggestions to remedy this? My Undergrad GPA is 3.56 so obviously I would hope this one crap semester shouldn't be indicative of anything to admissions officers.

Thanks very much.

Yes. Ws are still grades.

Yes, you will have to submit it. Luckily though, they only calculate your undergraduate GPA so it won't affect your official GPA that law schools use. But you still have to submit transcripts for any schools you attended.

Yep. Everything you have ever done. High school dual enrollment? Yep. That correspondence school you did through the mail? Yep. Took a bunch of classes somewhere that had nothing to do with your degree? That, too. Even if it doesn't help or hurt your GPA, and even if LSAC doesn't wind up counting it at all, send it anyway.

I had to submit a transcript from a school that I withdrew from in the first semester (after the add/drop deadline). I got 0 credits from that school lol. That's what addenda are for!
