Since not everyone gets graduate degrees, the admissions committee will only consider undergraduate records. However, it would be a good idea to submit an addendum that tells them that your MBA gpa is a more accurate representation of your academic capabilities in law school and shouldn't be neglected. Their argument would be that of course graduate degree gpas are naturally higher because one naturally takes graduate programs more seriously than undergraduate programs. If your gpa increased throughout your undergraduate years or was on average higher in your junior and senior years versus frosh and soph years, you may want to include that in your addendum. Just thought I would give my $.02

I was always able to work in the investments field without any need for a law degree. In fact, it was usually to my advantage that I didn't have one. However, over the last several years I have worked in the Real Estate Settlement industry and can actually see myself opening my own settlement agency. To own and operate my own real estate closing firm in NC or SC, it would be best if I was an attorney.
