How is GPA calculated for repeated courses?

Graduate School Law School

<p>Well, I go to CC and took the finite math course 3times. Grades are A, F, C.</p>

<p>And yes, I got an A at the 1st time, but repeated only to get lower grades. The story behind begins from the fact that I went to two different colleges and you probably dont want to hear the winding, boring stroy of mine. </p>

<p>When I talked to UC representatives for "undergrad transfer admission," they said whatever the letter grade I got above D for the first time is the grade they count while USC representative siad they will average out any repeated courses.</p>

<p>So, for the "Law School admission," how would univs calculate my GPA regarding repeating the same course?</p>

<p>I would be curious as to why you would be so dumb---no offense---to repeat a class in which you got an A? I actually do want to hear this story.</p>

<p>Also, with all due respect, how do you fail Finite Math? Isn't that like addition and subtraction?</p>

<p>Anyways, I guess it depends on the school you're applying to. Then again, I'm only a potential applicant so take it for what it's worth.</p>

<p>The rules are on LSAC.org</a> Homepage. Read the official explanation at pages 25-26:</p>

<p>I had a little trouble finding the relevant piece on the pdf. Bottom line is that unlike many undergrad institutions, LSAC does not erase grades.</p>

<p>Thanks all for the replies. To the question of reason for repeating the course I got an A already, basically at the time, I got mad with my parents and tried to **** them off. Talking about stupidity...:b</p>
