I'm a non-trad post-bac student, applying this summer.
My uGPA is about a 3.8 and my sGPA is currently a 3.94 (post bacc program). Hopefully my post-bacc grades will bump up by uGPA by a tiny bit.
I attended law school a few years ago. I didn't finish; I'm currently on leave. For reasons I would not like to go into, I was not happy with law school and did very poorly. There's a forced curve of a 3.1 or something (not exactly sure what the curve is, but it's somewhere between a 3.0 and 3.2, I think). So a 3.1 would be average. Still, my law school gpa is very low (below a 3.0).
I don't have an MCAT score yet. I intend to address my terrible law school gpa somewhere in my application (although I'm not entirely sure how to do that yet... taking suggestions if anyone has good advice). But I'm worried how med schools will view my law school gpa. I've read a few threads on SDN suggesting that it of course depends on the school, but the general consensus is that little to no weight is placed on it, given it is not "relevant" to (say) how I performed in the hard sciences?
