Poor graduate GPA?
« on: December 14, 2009, 11:52:04 AM »
I had a pretty good undergraduate GPA (3.7), but I took one semester of graduate classes, quickly decided that it was not where I wanted to be and got out.  But I failed a course which pretty well tanked my GPA because I didn't have a lot of hours.  Will this hurt me a lot if my undergrad GPA and LSAT are within range for the schools I'm applying for?

Only your UGrad GPA is calculated into LSDAS transcript, your graduate grades more or less do not carry a lot of weight as your UGrad grades do. However, you do report b/c the application asks you to list schools you went to; so I don't think you can keep it hidden

I had a low GPA for grad school but a good UGrad GPA. The school I ended matriculating wanted my transcript; so be prepared to answer questions about what happened in your semester at grad school.

Friend of mine had 3.9something UG GPA.  Then had a 3.0something Grad GPA.  He's a 3L at Yale.
