As a transfer student myself, I can confirm that your cumulative GPA between both of your schools will be your LSACGPA. They don't weigh any school's GPA more than the other when calculating it.
@jfpeterkin The degree summary is your final undergrad GPA, or the most recent transcript if KJD. To the right of that it should have a cumulative GPA and that is the official LSACGPA.
@Astraneous Is your degree summary gpa the same as your cumulative gpa? mine is exactly the same on lsac. My degree GPA should be much higher than my LSACgpa

What is your LSACgpa? If you are aiming for any top 7 school, a 171 is good enough. If you think you are capable of getting to 175 or above and have the time to study and retake, then you would greatly increase your chances at HYS.
I have the same issue, graduated summa but because I also transferred my LSACGPA falls under magna. I have summa listed on my resume from my degree granting institution. They have all your transcripts so I'm sure its fine.

I think if it wasn’t included in your LSACgpa (oddly) then don’t worry about it. Just disclose it in an addendum, I doubt any law schools would be requesting transcripts.
I didn't list GPA at all on my resume and a lot of admissions deans at webinars have said there is no need to list a GPA on the resume. If you're going to list it, probably do LSACGPA because that's really the one that the law school is going to "count"
According to LSAC's Academic Summary Report Key, certain W's are not calculated into LSACGPA if your school considers those types of W's as non-punitive.

Law schools will only use your LSACgpa and not your school gpa for any decisions, so if its a lower gpa you can write an addendum to just explain why and not something that will repeat itself
