Law School Applications / Who started in community college?
« on: January 07, 2008, 03:16:18 AM »
I'm feeling a bit disheartened after learning that my gpa will be adjusted by some schmucks 
to better represent me.
I started out in high school not giving a care in the world about school. I probably pulled a 2.0 if I'm lucky (have worked hard to forget those years lol). School didn't matter to me because I was going to play baseball in college and was already all set up. Well as the story normally goes, I got hurt and baseball went down the drain. There I was with no options left but the local community college. At the time I didn't think anything of it because it was cheap and gave me time to figure out what I wanted to do.
Well after my first semester performance of 1.9 and a similar second semester, I realized that I was going to be a garbage man if I didn't get my poo together.
The next year I was at the same place but worked hard to bring my grades up to 2.8. I then decided that I needed to get out of the poo hole school (actually top CC in the country ahahahhaha) to a more respectable 4 year. I ended up at an expensive private school and have gotten all A's since I've been here. I'll end up with probably a 3.4 when it's all said and done.
I realize a 3.4 is bottom shelf around here, but I'm hoping a great lsat will get me somewhere.
Now, I'm curious how much my gpa will be adjusted considering my time at a community college. Most of those credits are included in what will be my graduating gpa so I'm kind of clueless. By the time I'm done I'll have 3 full years at a good school with 2 at a "good" community college. I'm hoping the extreme grade trend will make up for my early time in CC.
What do you guys think? Anyone else a dirty CC scumbag like me?
