I am screwed beyond belief

[UNAS]

I just went to LSAC to see if my GPA had been calculated and it has. The problem is my cumulative GPA is a 2.9 and they calculated it as a 2.3. What the #@$%? Any ideas on what I can do

That's a very big difference.  You should call them immediately and have them explain it to you.  Maybe they made a mistake.

I doubt it.  They are pretty good at calculating GPA's.  My UGPA was 3.1 overall and they re-calculated it at 2.85.  My Gradute GPA is 3.3...

I'd want an explanation.  It's been my experience that LSAC isn't really "good" at anything.

Your GPA may be 2.9 at your degree-granting institution, but what about other schools? They recalculate your GPA to incorporate all grades .... everywhere.

I had a similar problem, though not as significant as your case.

Definitely call LSAC if this doesn't clarify anything.

I don't think they count graduate work...

Funny thing is this is my first time checking since I submitted apps in october so i have been under the impression i was in good shape. as matter of fact, i have even managed to slide into a couple of decent schools.

I took graduate coursework from another school and received str8 A's. I failed a couple classes, but I took them over and received a grade of a C or better which through the forgiveness policy would have replaced my F

LSAC includes all grades, even those F's that were replaced through forgiveness, when calculating your GPA.  This is probably the source of the difference.

@#!*, so i guess I should revise my addendum to reflect that.
