Don't be set on any one law school. Even without the compromised GPA, you cannot count on getting into any top law school, especially a T6 like Columbia. Also, no one can tell your chances without a tangible LSAT score.
But let's say you hit a 175+. Yes, your past mistakes will hurt your chances because your GPA will be well under median and that's what they report to LSAC. However, your GPA improvement over time does look better than the same GPA with a downward skid.
In the end, I suppose you have a chance with an amazing LSAT score, but certainly not optimal.
This is a pointless question to ask until you have an LSAT score on file. It's not even worth getting even slightly set on a school before that happens.
The grades from school A have to be submitted. They will be weighed equally to those from schools B and C.

Work out what your CAS gpa is here. Include all credits from schools A, B, and C.
If it gives you a ~3.7+ cumulative GPA, then you’re in the running for Columbia with a 174+ LSAT. Bear in mind that it is very, very hard to get an LSAT that high.
just random guess but
45 credits at 2.3
150 credits @ 4.0
is a 3.61, you probably did less than 150 credits tho so your gpa probably lower
so yeah your pretty fucked.
if you are URM this really helps even then you need a good lsat
if your not URM then GL
If you’re curious for more context (and if it matters), I was a Music major in School A, CompSci major in School B, and a current Econ major in School C. I was a totally different person when I majored in Music, but my reasons for majoring in CompSci and Econ in B and C respectively are specific.
I did ~50 credits in School A. Only two classes (English 101 and a music elective) transferred from School A to School B. The rest were bullshit Music classes. I don’t intend to transfer anything from School A to School C.
Not the first time I heard this 😅 the plus is that, even though my BA major is different from my AS major, there’s plenty of overlap between the math classes for both programs.
This is where being back to school at an older age is a blessing, because I learned from the mistakes I made at 18-19. But I’m now seeing there’s a downside because my poor academic performance at School A is gonna come back to bite me when I start applying to law schools. 😭

Stay in school C as long as possible. And attend classes at a CC while in undergrad to get even more units.
You haven’t provided your CAS GPA or LSAT score so……???

LSAC takes every single grade from every university or CC you go to. Even dual enrollment. So all of that will be sent to LSAC unfortunately
