GPA question

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>So I am a transfer student to Berkeley and was wondering when I do apply to law schools, which GPA wouldbe looked at? Someone told me once you transfer your GPA "resets" but I'm assuming they mean it resets for the UC standard -- it's not like my academic career through community college just poofs into thin air, right?</p>

<p>So -- when law schools review my application, how will it be weighed? Would someone who has gone through a 4 year school get priority over me who has gone through 2-year transfer system?</p>

<p>Any information would be helpful, thanks.</p>

<p>You're right about not poofing.</p>

<p>For *official *GPA calculations, no adjustment would be made due to the fact that you did your coursework at a community college.</p>

<p>Notice that I'm not making any statements about what schools would think. I'll leave that for somebody more experienced.</p>

<p>They're going to count your community college and Berkeley grades together. There are a number of threads on this very issue you could try to search for.</p>
