<p>I'm currently in a community college, to transfer to a four-year institution in fall. I just wanted to know if this would have a very negative effect in my chances for admission for law schools. (I am assuming it does, but how much?)</p>
<p>I think, however, that I heard someone say that the admissions would only care about the last two years...this seems quite unlikely to me, at least. Please let me know! :)</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help, I really do appreciate it! </p>

<p>I don't think it will have any impact on law school admissions. Law schools look at your overall GPA (that LSAC calculates on their own criteria), and your LSAT. And from everything I have read it is absolutely true that the schools primarily focus on your last two years.</p>
<p>Also, it is only STUDENTS who have such a negative view of community colleges. The law school admissions officers know that community colleges are excellent institutions that offer the best values in education.</p>
<p>If you have a good GPA and a strong LSAT score you will have just as much of a chance of getting in as someone else with the same stats.</p>
<p>There have been several threads on this topic. I'd recommend a search.</p>
<p>ThatPoshGirl, thank you so much for your kind answer.</p>
<p>jonri, I'm terribly sorry- I was looking a bit but was having difficulty navigating through. :( Will keep it in mind from now on. Thanks for the reply! :)</p>
