There is more than just your GPA to law school. I know how GPAs work. If you've taken all of your classes at UMPI then you need to graduate from UMPI. You'll be hard pressed to find schools that offer A+ as a grade. There's no guarantee that you can get an A+.(08-08-2022, 11:07 AM)ss20ts Wrote: I haven't seen many schools give A+. There's a lot more to law school applications than the GPA. Personally, I would continue taking classes at UMPI and not apply for graduation until you've completed all the courses you want to. Law school will look at where you're taking classes and wonder why you're bouncing all over the place. That may not seen stable to them whereas completing extra courses at one school shows stability.
This is almost entirely false. The LSAT/GPA combination makes up like 90% of the admission/scholarship criteria and your GPA from all institutions gets combined into one formula. Law schools do not care when or where you got your grades from, at all. The other 10% is a personal statement, letter of rec and other things I already have squared away and am not worried about.
It all gets blindly put into a new formula regardless if it was a CC in 2001 or Yale in 2022 law schools only look at the total GPA
As I've already stated, I have taken all the classes I want at UMPI.

I can certainly pay for the credits however getting one A+ is equal to getting like 3 As so probably not the most time effective method. Would I be able to pick and chose which courses get transcripted or is it all or nothing?
You get to choose. If you want to transcript Astronomy but not Biology, for instance, you can do that. The 1-credit course doesn't have a transcription fee, but it doesn't get transcripted until you click the button saying that you want to transcript it.
Hm, I might have to consider ASU then even if it takes significantly longer than an A+ granting institution. I saw on another thread that TESU's PLA-100 was an option as well as another 1 credit course from CSU-Pueblo. Do you know of anyone here who has taken those?
