I'll have a decent GPA but...

Graduate School Law School

<p>...it wouldn't be that many classes.</p>

<p>I am a transfer student to the school I now attend (Duke), and a lot of the "core" courses like the "hard" sciences and lots of English (my major) courses, I took at my previous school (a community college). </p>

<p>I am a junior now and although I'm taking half of the required English classes here at Duke, I am concerned that this may play against me in the law school admissions process. I was told that they will not be able to see what the GPA from my previous school (which is similar to what I have here), and when I apply they would only have my grades for two semesters.</p>

<p>Would this play against me? Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>you were given incorrect info. Law schools will see all your grades. Transcripts from both the community college and Duke will be sent to LSAC/LSDAS as you will have to provide that info – and your overall GPA will be calculated based on all grades. That’s the gpa the law schools will receive. All undergrad transcripts/grades must be forwarded to LSAC for GPA calculation.</p>
