Re: Community College
Did you earn a degree from the CC? I attended a different school for my first year of UG and had a lower GPA there. I chose to list the school and dates attended but nothing else. They can see the GPA on the LSAC report.

Re: Community College
I think it's ok to limit your education section to your degree-granting institution, but it does make sense to include your community college if this was one of those deals where you did two years there and two years at the degree-granting school. You also aren't required to list GPAs on your resume.
That said, this is a non-issue for applications. They're already going to have your complete educational history and won't be relying on your resume for it.

Re: Community College
Welp, should have read further up the thread. Yeah it's gonna be a non-issue because they'll have your complete record. Also the fact that your grades have improved is going to be a positive as adcoms review your app. List the schools, don't mention GPA's; that seems to split the difference.kiklavan wrote:Because my GPA is lower at my CC while it’s high at my degree granting schoolKENYADIGG1T wrote:Why would your CC make your CV less appealing?kiklavan wrote:I know...

Re: Community College
fwiw I left my CC off my resume despite having gone for 2 years because I wanted more room for WE.
I don't think it matters.
