academic probation

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>As I was starting the process of applying to several law schools, I noticed several of them asked if I have ever been dismissed or placed on academic probation. My very first semester at my UG university several years ago, I received one poor grade in a class which resulted in academic probation the following semester. After that, my grades greatly improved. I never really thought about the fact that it might effect me now. I also do not like the way the question reads: "Have you ever been dismissed or placed on academic probation?" since one is obviously more serious than the other. </p>

<p>Has anyone here ever been on AP? If so, how did it affect your chances for admissions? </p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.....thanx</p>

<p>Your bad grade or grades that led to academic probation will be included in your transcript (and particularly your LSDAS report from the LSAC) . That it resulted in academic probation really does not add or subtract from any impact the bad grade or grades may have.</p>
