<p>Law School Admission Question?
I'm currently in community college, and I'm planning on transferring to a four year university (A UC school) next semester. But, during my community college years, I got three "W's" (withdrawal) on my transcript. My question is: how does the application, or admissions, for law school work if you attended community college? How much are "W's" taken into account. I plan on transferring to UC Irvine. After, I plan on attending either Yale, UCLA, or UC Davis's Law School. Help please. Provide me with information. </p>

<p>Thank you in advance.</p>

<p>W’s are normal on any college transcript, just done make them a habit</p>

<p>The only thing that really counts is the undergraduate work at the school you are graduating from. I believe there is not difference to being a freshman or a transfer student. Youll be fine. just try to keep the W’s at a minimum. Also, good luck getting into a UC, the budget went even more down and now they are looking into cutting enrollment. Make sure you stand out from your colleagues!</p>

<p>This is not true, at least as far as your GPA is concerned. LSAC will count both your CC and university grades equally in calculating your GPA.</p>

<p>Actually your grades from all colleges, including CCs, count for law school admission, not just the one you transfer to. In fact, you need to submit all such grades to the LSAC (which administers the LSAT and is the gathering service for required admission records for law schools) which then creates your actual GPA for use by law schools. One W is unlikely to be a factor; however, three may raise some eyebrows but won’t be deadly as long as everything else is good. High grades are only part of the equation. The LSAT score is actually the most important factor (60% or more of everything at most law schools).</p>
