How do top law schools view CC transfers?

Graduate School Law School

I will be transferring to a 4-year university as a junior (ideally UC Berkeley or UCLA) with a 4.0, and am highly considering going to law school. How do T14 (or generally highly ranked) law schools view CC units? Will my two years in community college limit my chances/options?

Also, I have one B in a non-transferable, non-college level math course (Intermediate Algebra) that I took in high school. Is this calculated in the LSAC GPA? I know that remedial classes aren’t considered, but there’s nothing on my transcript that indicates it is remedial (the course number is different, but there is no explicit statement indicating that it is remedial). I know it’s just a B, and it would only lower my GPA by a few hundredths of a point, but I’d like to know anyway. I haven’t found a definitive answer, so I figured someone here would have a better idea.

Law schools don’t care (except maybe Yale) where you got your grades from. As for the B, the standard answer is that they take into account all grades awarded by an undergraduate institution. Since you’ve already checked the LSAC website and don’t have the answer, I presume you know this and don’t find it satisfactory. You can always contact LSAC directly and ask them, though I’d bet on them counting it. If the class was remedial you may be able to convince LSAC not to count it by getting a letter from the institution saying so.
