calculating lsdas

Graduate School Law School

<p>i have a question about the lsdas gpa thing. </p>

<p>is it true that this number is calculated using only those grades earned before the FIRST undergraduate degree is earned?
Would all grades earned in an extra year at a different college towards an additional BA be disregarded?</p>

<p>I'm getting a major and 2 minors at wake forest and plan to get an additional major at a different college after graduating here (can't afford a 5th year at Wake!). so im guessing all those grades earned at the different school would not count towards the LSDAS gpa???</p>

<p>This is from the LSAC site:
Grades Excluded From Conversion
Those awarded after the first undergraduate degree was received.</p>

<p>You can read the booklet here: <a href="http://www.lsat.org/pdfs/2008-2009/InformationBook08web.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.lsat.org/pdfs/2008-2009/InformationBook08web.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>what if you're a double major? I am but I think only one degree appears on my transcript... not sure. Where do minors fall into this? Do their grades count also? and what about vocational classes.. like paralegal classes? do those count? sorry for hijacking ur thread btw.</p>

<p>You should still be getting just one degree, so the grades for both will appear on your transcript, and will count. The same goes for minors. They aren't separate degrees you're getting.</p>

<p>Vocational classes will also count if they're on your transcript and you got credit for them.</p>
