KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:I transferred after freshman year and the grades didn't count towards my UGPA at my sophomore-senior institution. I assume they will count for my LSAC GPA. However, I did very poorly in a photography class (I think a D...) and this didn't appear on my final transcript at my final institution at all. Will it appear for LSAC? The answer to your question was actually on their website: quote:"LSAC calculates a GPA for each year and a cumulative GPA for each undergraduate institution that issued a transcript for you. A cumulative GPA that includes all undergraduate work is also calculated and reported. A cumulative GPA for a school within an institution cannot be calculated. did you look? if not, why? if yes, why didn't you find that? The practice of law has a large to very large amount of doing things you don't want to do (like clicking through boring websites for answers) and finding relevant information (by clicking through boring websites). It has a large to very large amount of people being lovely to you about it. Law school itself might still be really fun for you though. It was for me. The reason the bad grade didn't appear on your final institution's transcript is almost certainly that your final institution's transcript accounts for credits counting toward the degree from that school, and by that final school's standards, your lovely photography grade was too low to give you degree credit for the class. LSAC will ask for all transcripts and include your bad grade. Edit: also, each institution computes a GPA only for its own courses. GPAs don't transfer from one school to another without a specific transfer agreement, typically found in schools in the same "system." homullus fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Jul 22, 2021 |

I'm gonna ignore whatever other people posted and i only see that some user wants to go law school but got a bad grade in a photography class. I have two words of wisdom: 1. a single bad grade won't tank your entire gpa so please post the rest of your transcript so we can properly evaluate you, and 2. I got an F my senior year in undergrad. A straight F. I applied to law school several years later so it was 100% on the transcript. I got into a TTT and now make a deccy 5 figgies at a non profit so you can too

This man has had his life ruined by law school. He's crippled for life, unable to breathe outside air and eat anything but business lunches. His "non-profit" is working for an war widow crushing machine. Think they don't exist? Then you know very little about the practice of law. In conclusion, go to law school.

For what it’s worth, here’s my perspective on all this. A single D is unlikely to change your GPA all that much. Law schools want to say “all our students got a 4.0 and a 180” so your overall GPA is far more important. While the D will certainly be included in your GPA, what matters is whether that brings you from a 3.9 to a 3.86 or from a 3.3 to a 3.21. Unsolicited advice (worth exactly what you pay for it): Take the LSAT and see how you do. If you score exceptionally well and your GPA is very good or you’re a URM, then come back and let’s talk about late school. If either your GPA or your LSAT is not exceptional, then don’t apply. Consider your approach to interacting with folks who you might want as your peers and from whom you might want advice or help along the way.

I guess I work for a non-profit too? Just like HDD 91. And I only need to work here for 10 years and then the rest of my loans get waived, unless Trump brings back DeVos in 2025.

Why do partners intentionally print documents on hard copies, make changes via pen then expect the lower-rungs to transcribe their changes? Is this a hazing ritual that I am missing?

I find it easier and better to revise documents on paper. You miss lots of stuff on the computer. Also sometimes you want someone you are teaching to see what you’re changing and why.

My old boss liked to do that because he's 76 and cannot type near as fast as he can scribble on paper. He also doesn't know how to use track changes.

Is this a hazing ritual that I am missing? 1) reviewing a hard copy makes it easier to spot errors you missed on the screen 2) once you're reviewing a hard copy, making changes by pen is easiest 3) the underling may be getting edits from multiple people, and need to integrate several rounds of edits 4) track changes tends to incentivize juniors to just mash accept change, which means they may miss typos i accidentally introduced (most notably extra/missing spaces which are impossible to see in track changes). hell, i did that plenty as a junior. 5) because my time is worth 2x their time, so we're doing it the way that's easiest for me

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:Don't know about law but in my industry, it's this. Infuriating because those junior people could actually be doing real work instead of fanning senior management with a palm leaf. it's actually not a joke: our clients pay for my time. if my junior can type comments into the computer, or i can do it myself, i am supposed to do it in the way that minimizes the costs to the client. their time costs less than my time: they want the juniors typing, not me. some clients (like insurance companies) will notice if someone "too senior" is doing something and either not pay for it or only pay at a junior rate. when it comes to using the juniors to fan me and bring me grapes and wine, that's frowned upon because they could be earning the firm hundreds of dollars an hour typing my scribbles into the documents instead

Always "submit" to the SEC, never "file" with them. This is the dumbest thing (among many other dumbest things) but 100% true and I've become more and more convinced that the real value that invoice review of this type provides is to get folks to just lower their bill because it's easier than dealing with correcting it.
