No, I was saying it carries more weight,based on the info NavOffRec provided us, because if there is a Masters degree for a GPA calc then there must be a Bachelors degree that gets added in as well. He corrected my statement because it was coming across as my saying that Masters Degree (only)=Overall GPA calc....which could hurt some people (such as those in programs like yours.... I'm assuming you had a higher undergrad GPA if you were able to get into law school ... what I'm saying is that Masters Degree = Masters Degree plus Bachelors Degree and the combination of the two gives you a weightier score. All I'm trying to say is that having a Masters degree should for the most part help a GPA calc because it is being added to what you already have for Bachelors degree points. Since many graduate schools won't let you stay in if you're pulling a low GPA, most people will be helped by that math.
But, like I said, I couldn't speak for the law and medical field. Surely the board looks at what the actual masters was in once they get to the package. The board member I was referring to said they used their "formula" to get rid of a lot of packages that were barely meeting the minimum requirements for submitting but were still submitted (ie. someone with a 35 OAR and exactly a 2.5 bachelors GPA.) You seem like you have great stats, so I wouldn't worry that your JD GPA was a little low. I mean, it is still a JD..... quite impressive....
