another LSAC GPA calculation question

<p>Does anyone know how LSAC calculates grades for courses taken over the summer - both for courses that appear on ones transcript and those that don't? For example, I did a summer study abroad that gave me 4 courses worth of credit, but my school only allowed me to transfer 2 courses worth of credit from summer study. Despite getting As in all 4 classes, the two they accepted appear on my transcript as Pass. I have two questions: 1. Will LSAC include the grades from this summer studying in calculating my GPA? 2. Will LSAC include just the grades that appear on the transcript or all 4 grades I received?</p>

<p>I checked on the LSAC website for this information, but I couldn't find any information on this. Thanks!</p>

<p>I believe they calculate every college course you have ever taken, whether they were accepted for credit or not. If they are not on a 4.0 scale, they will convert them. If your current school only put Pass on them they will proberbly get the actual grades from the school you took them at. Hope that helps.</p>

<p>Thank you. That does help a lot.</p>

<p>When they say the average GPA at Yale is 3.86 do they mean 3.86 on a strict 4.0 scale or 3.86 on a 4.33 scale with A+ being 4.33?</p>

<p>It's a 4.33 scale, but a large segment of those who get into Yale went to schools that don't offer A+'s.</p>

<p>and speaking of calculations, if someone takes the LSAT twice, and the schools average the two scores, do they round up or round down? In other words, if someone gets a 133 and a 136, is the score 134 or 135? (and I just used that number to clarify my question, obviously)</p>
