<p>I know a girl who is in the process of law school applications. She had a very bad experience her first semester freshman year. Luckily, she went to an advisor and she told her to fail the two courses. My school allows you to retake F courses and takes only the 2nd grade in calculating your gpa. The two F courses remain on her transcript. She now has a very high gpa. Do grad schools base the gpa on their own calculations or the official school gpa? She has put down the official school gpa on applications</p>
<p>Another thread in the law school forum showed something about the LSAC including all grades that are on the transcript and have the units shown, even if retaken. I would imagine that they will be included.</p>
