Do Law Schools See Classes Taken Post-Grad?

[IAmtheLaw68]

Hi all! Just graduated with an OK GPA (~3.73) but my freshman year did terribly including getting a D in a calc class. I'm taking Linear Algebra this summer at a school other than the one I just received my BA from  in the hopes that if I get a good grade, appending it to certain grad degree programs I'm considering (like MPPs/MPAs) will help ameliorate any concern there. My impression is that (1) there's no way for anyone to tell I took this class until I tell them (2) no one will ask for grades from classes that were taken after you graduated from college unless part of a degree (e.g. an MA). Just confirming, because the course is fast paced and if I don't do well I don't want it to get sent along with my undergrad grades.

Thanks

You have to send all your transcripts via lsac.org so I hope that answers your question!

Applying to law school is not the time to be shady....and they require all grades.

Oh my impression was your LSAC GPA is set in stone once you graduate and no classes taken post-grad count towards it?

Your LSAC GPA is set in stone once you graduate but you still have to send in all transcripts, including post-grad, despite the fact that it won't be counted in your LSAC GPA.
