Which GPA will a Law School look at?

Question

I'm nearing up my last year or so of undergrad here at the University of Houston. I want to go to some sort of graduate/professional school afterward, and lately have been thinking hard about applying for law school somewhere.

The question is this: I've transferred twice thus far and have grades from other schools on my transcript. Which GPA will the law school be concerned with? My GPA that's calculated from ALL of my college courses or my GPA that's calculated just from University of Houston?

Thanks!

Thank you!

Answer 1

Law school applications are handled through the LSAC. Your transcripts will be sent to LSAC and they will recalculate a cumulative GPA for you that will be used for your applications. This GPA will include all courses taken, from all schools attended. Also, even though some schools do not count WFs or retaken Fs in their GPA, LSAC will count those grades as Fs.

As someone else mentioned, your LSAT score is more important than GPA in law school admissions.

Answer 2

Law schools will look at your cumulative GPA (calculated from all schools you've attended past high school)

Graduate schools may consider your cumulative but many are only interested in the last 60 hours (2 years) GPA.

Answer 3

Employers don't care about your grades. They want to know you graduated.

Answer 4

the big number for law schools are your LSAT scores.
