Retaking Classes

<p>I have a question on retaking classes.</p>

<p>This Spring I transfered from a small catholic college on Long Island to Northeastern University. My GPA at my original institution wasn't bad (about 3.5)
but there were just some classes I could have done much better in, this was hindered by the fact that I was working a full time job and a part time job while going to school full time.</p>

<p>Northeastern Requires it students to do a certain number of co-op/internships to fufill an experiential education requirement and I'll be back on Long Island living near my original college durring this...</p>

<p>Is it worth it to retake some of these classes? Maybe bump some b-'s to A's?
How is retaking classes looked upon by admissions ? any info is greatly appreciated...</p>

<p>The original grade is still present on transcripts but its the new grade that is factored into the cumulitive gpa</p>

<p>Thanks again</p>

<p>Go to the <a href="http://www.lsac.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.lsac.org&lt;/a>. site and read what it says there about how your LSDAS gpa is calculated. </p>

<p>When you apply to law school, the LSDAS --law school data assembly service--used by most law schools, will compute your gpa. How your college does it does NOT matter; it's the LSAC --law school admissiosn council--rules which matter. In other words, the gpa which LSDAS calculates for you will be the one MOST law schools rely on in deciding to admit you; it may not be the same one as the college itself calculates. </p>

<p>Here's a more specific link:

<p>see especially page 24. If you have questions, call LSAC and ask. </p>

<p>Make your own decision after reading the rules.</p>
