What counted in the LSDAS gpa?

<p>yeah i went to lsac.org but i cant find the page that describes all that stuff (i know ive been there before i jus cant find it now)...can someone link the exact page?</p>

<p>I took classes at a community college during high school (before getting my 4 year bachelors degree at a university). Now I have completed my bachelors degree, and I work full time and take classes for enjoyment at a different community college. I got A's in all of these community college classes (before and after my bachellor's degree) so they would all boost my gpa from my bachelor's degree. Which of these CC classes will actually boost my GPA? The ones from during high school, the ones after college, both or neither?</p>

<p>I don't think anything after you get your Bachelors will count. Also as far as I can tell, everything before your Bachelors will indeed count. I'm still a bit curious about classes that I took at a community college that were not at the college level.</p>

<p>The classes that count are those that earned you credit toward your bachelor's degree. So if your degree-granting institution counted the classes in the total required for the bachelor's, then the courses go into the LSDAS GPA. So courses that you took after getting the degree don't count, and ones you took in high school only count if they appear as credits on your transcript from the degree institution. (I.e., "22 credits granted for work completed at Jonesville Junior College.")</p>

<p>Hanna, the LSAC info only says that courses "awarded after the first undergraduate degree was received" are excluded, so I think all college classes count regardless of what your degree-granting institution does. If this were not the case, then you could simply not transfer over any summer grades that you didn't like, and transfer students would not have their first two years counted, since most schools don't count the grades toward your bachelor's.</p>

<p>No, but they count the CREDIT on the transcript, which is what I said. Otherwise, you wouldn't be a "transfer" student, because your credits wouldn't transfer.</p>

<p>LSDAS doesn't care if you took some community-college summer course during high school.</p>

<p>If you got college credit for them and you submit a transcript to LSAC, they will count them, though, as far as I know.</p>

<p>i have a couple questions about the transcript summarization process. LSAC has partially 'summarized' my transcript and i am currently awaiting review of my study abroad performance. </p>

<p>My home institution neither counts my study abroad experience towards my GPA nor toward graduation (on my transcript it appears as though i didn't receive credit). Is it possible that these grades will not be calculated in the GPA?</p>

<p>Second, my last year at school my GPA was a 4.0; when i looked at what LSAC had listed as my last year's GPA I was shocked to find it was 3.58. I just found that the source of the confusion was a French course I took last semester pass/fail or, as my institution records on the transcript Credit (CD) / No Credit NCD. Well, the good ol' LSAC folks took the CD as being the grade received (i guess some institutions issue a 'CD' letter grade) and granted me a similar score. The thing is though, looking at the transcript, it's quite obvious to any person attempting to be observant that I did not receive a "CD" letter grade for the class. </p>

<p>Now i'm pretty scared as to who and how my grades are being processed. Is this unwarranted?</p>
