I am 23 years old. An undergraduate at a top 50 public business school major–accounting. I have found my self in a rather odd situation involving my application.
brief history of academic career.
1.) I attended a small private college and left after 1 semester with 15 credits of F’s, with GPA:0.00
2.) arriving back home, I enrolled in a Community college and completed 58 credits with a GPA:3.3
a. this includes 3 F’s
3.) THEN, at 20 years old I enrolled at A Public University, top 50 public business school and completed 141 credits
(will be 4 years) with a GPA:3.65
a. lowest grade recorded is 1 C
LSAT: 169. I studied for almost 9 months to receive this score.
The situation arrives from the LSAC.GPA or UGPA this is the allotted total snapshot of your career as an undergraduate student from every institution you attended. The LSAC averages every credit hour you ever attempted into one!
By my calculations my LSAC.GPA / UGPA stands at a : 2.9 - 3.1… due to the 24 credit hours of 0’s added to the UGPA.
Any thoughts on this and how it will effect my chances at better law schools. will schools see this and understand that my recent four years is a better understanding of my academic ability, or will I need a addendum. If someone with experience could help me out with some thoughts that would be very appreciated!
