GPA from two different Schools

My question is on what Law Schools will they be looking at GPA from? I went to a community college to get my Associates and then finished the other two years at a University. My grades at University were not as good as they were at Community College. At community College I finished with I believe around a 3.45 GPA, and at University with a 2.88 GPA. That averaged to about a 3.25. I'm hoping Law Schools will look at that 3.25, and count Community College, as that was work towards my Bachelors and that was about 80 credits. I don't see why they wouldn't look at that. My University Transcripts show some of Community College classes but they don't show the GPA, they indicate it as 0.0, meaning they're not counting that towards that University's GPA.

So what can I expect they'll look at?

Thank you

    You have to submit all transcripts from all schools. They'll see all the credits you've done whether it's on your 4 yr school transcript or not and it will all count for your LSAC GPA.

    They will see both of your GPAs; however, the cumulative GPA (3.25) is the one that holds the most weight since it is the one that the law schools report to the ABA.

    Yup, so looks like it will be the 3.25!

    In Ontario they do not count, not sure about other countries or provinces.
