Hi! i'm looking to start my law school journey soon. I went to a university in Europe for my bachelor's degree, but I also happened to take 3 courses at a community college in the US. The courses were just for fun and have no connection to my bachelor's degree. From what I understand, with my international Bachelor's degree I will not recieve a LSAC GPA, just a qualitative description. However, I have read that I need to report those community college classes, even if I did not use them to get my degree. Because of this, will I have an LSAC GPA? can i have both? I'm very confused.

The rule is as follows:

  • No cumulative GPA will be calculated if an applicant has

    received their undergraduate degree from an institution located outside the United States, its territories/associated states, or Canada, and has also completed less than 60 graded credits of U.S./Canadian undergraduate-level work prior to the awarding of the international degree;

So, since three courses shouldn't be 60 credits, no GPA will be shown.

Thanks!
