<p>Me again (I have lots of questions)...</p>
<p>When law schools are considering your application, do they look at your transcript and take your junior/senior level classes into more consideration than your freshman/junior level classes? I've completed my core but my GPA in my 1000-2000 courses is rather low whereas in my 3000-4000 level classes (that relate to my fields of study) I have a near-perfect average.</p>
<p>Mostly they look at your cumulative GPA (that's what they have to report for US news rankings and such so they care a lot about it). What level the class is makes less of a difference than when you take them...a 3.5 all the way through college is probably SLIGHTLY less preferable than 3.0 freshman year, 3.25 sophomore year, 3.75 junior year, 4.0 senior year (for example). </p>
<p>But it's a fairly slight difference, especially if you don't have an addendum to your application explaining why your grades at first don't reflect your ability (illness, family crisis, changed major, etc.). If it's just that it took you a while to settle into college-level work, then there's not much of a reason for them to expect that it wouldn't take you a similarly long time to settle into law-school-level work.</p>
