Frequently Asked Questions

If I did poorly in a class, should I retake it in order to improve my GPA?

University of Massachusetts Amherst - Pre-Law Advising Offic...
Usually, no, if your GPA is your only concern. When you retake a class at UMass, the Registrar's office recalculates your GPA to omit reference to your first grade. Law schools and the LSAC do not. They include every grade on your transcript in calculating your GPA. For students who retake classes, this often means that your LSAC-generated GPA is less than your UMass-generated GPA. Moreover, the law schools will look at your entire transcript, not just you GPA.

Can I retake one of my sociology courses to raise my GPA?

Department of Sociology | UConn
Any retake of a course means that the highest grade received is used in the GPA calculation. All grades received do remain on the transcript. Sometimes a retake doesn't improve the student's GPA that much. Sometimes it is a mathematical limit and sometimes it is just hard for the student to do that well in a course he/she didn't do well in the first time around. A better approach might be to take a different class that you like better and will do well in.

Can I retake a class in order to get a higher grade?
