So I attend U of M and I have no withdrawals, decent grades (pushing for a higher GPA right now) yada yada ya

however, at a community college that I was getting credits from, during high school I got an A, and one withdrawal. And now I'm taking a couple online courses (from different colleges one including the community college) and a calc 3 course. I'm pretty sure I'm goign to get a B since one of the courses is a computer science course and I'm teaching myself the whole thing and it's already a low B. This isn't the main problem. I was going to drop calc 3 since I was having a hard time (I'm working 25~30 hours a week) understand the courseload. I wasn't able to fully complete a homework assignment so my grade dropped to a 75. I'm planning on pulling it up to at least an 80 so I could have a b in the course.

Would this community college transcript hurt my chances of getting into a graduate school(law school) or am I worrying too much?

My undergraduate college's pre-law adviser handed out charts with predicted law school admission outcomes based on our GPA + LSAT score. If this chart is to be believed, a 0.1-point variation in GPA will have a tangible impact on law school admission outcomes.

also, these grades don't affect my GPA at all.

Don't law schools re-calculate your GPA using all grades you earned at any college?

Every grade in every college course you take generally affects your GPA for admissions to advanced programs. Some will count more than others, but none will be 'invisible,' even if they are not factored in to your GPA at your home institution.
