When I transferred to Liberty University, I transferred credits from 4 other schools. By the time my transcript analysis was complete, I only needed 2 semesters at LU to graduate. Not all my transferred grades were A's, but they only appear as a "P" on my LU transcripts. As I near my graduation from LU and look toward Grad or Law School, I currently have a 4.0 gpa at LU. When I apply to Grad School, will I be able to submit only my LU transcript showing all A's and P's? Or will they want transcripts from all 5 schools? Will I be able to claim a 4.0 on my application? Thanks.

For any ABA accredited law school you will be utilizing the transcript service at the Law School Admission Council, and are required to submit a transcript for
every course that you attempted for credit under your first BA/BS degree. For more information, search for "LSAC GPA".

The same applies to graduate programs as well, it's just that LSAC just prepares everything for you and you cannot include any courses finished after your first degree was awarded. Even open admission programs require you to submit all transcripts.
If you do not submit all transcripts and still somehow get admitted, the school has the right to remove you from your program, etc. So to put it shortly, yes, submit all of your transcripts and don't even consider otherwise.

Especially if you are going to file a FAFSA. The school can see every school you had Financial Aid with. It only takes one Jaded FA advisor to Narc you to admissions.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

The trick with getting into a good law school with a low GPA is the LSAT. If you have a low GPA and a high LSAT, you can still get in (usually).
LSAC has an awesome search feature that lets you put in your GPA and LSAT score and see what law schools have accepted other students with similar scores as you.

nice link
Virginia is strange
a gpa of 4.0 and an lsat of 180 actually lowers my chance of getting in
