Withdrawals on transcript

jowens7317

I have a few withdrawals on my transcript. They are all non punitive and do not effect my overall GPA in any way. One was due to receiving a bad grade on an exam and having no way to recover because of the way the class was structured and the others were only because I changed majors and wouldn't need those classes anymore. Regardless of the reasons does this negatively effect my application?

Hey, you can check LSAC's specific policy for your school with the following link: http://www.lsac.org/transcriptkeys/igugs-search.aspx

You should probably mention that on your addendum when you apply. I dont think it should be a problem.

If they don’t affect your GPA you’re fine. There are tons of good reasons for withdrawing from a class, and I’d be shocked if they took the time to consider it one way or the other. It’s all about that GPA.

Hi @jowens7317 I would not write an addendum for a nonpunitive Withdraw.

As said here:

If it doesnt hurt your GPA do not draw attention to anything to that might raise questions. It will not impact your application.

W's are meaningless to law schools unless you withdrew from school completely. That would be the only time it could cause further attention. Don't bring unneeded attention to a small issue. Focus on improving controllable strengths of your app (LSAT, ps, ds)
