<p>I am thinking about applying to a prestigious law school and my UCLA GPA is very strong, hovering around 3.90. However, my JC GPA is not as satisfactory (only 3.60+) So I am wondering how important is my JC GPA relative to my UCLA GPA for law school admission? any input will be appreciated, thanks!</p>
<p>You are required to submit transcripts from all schools you have attended to the LSDAS. The GPA from your JC will be averaged with your GPA from UCLA and you will have on LSDAS average that will go to the law schools.</p>
<p>Wait, so what you saying is that my UCLA GPA and JC GPA are equally important? Isn't it true that law schools will place more weight on the former since it is obviously harder and reflects most of my major courses?</p>
<p>zheng, the schools may subjectively consider the fact that you have a good recent grades at a good school. But the schools report the statistics about their class to the ABA and they report the LSDAS gpa, which is a combined gpa of all undergraduate coursework. If your gpa is 3.7 on a combined basis, that's what they have to report. Therefore, the schools are cognizant of how admitting a student may affect their middle 50% and median gpa's.</p>
