<p>There has been some confusion amongst others I know interested in applying to law school, and I was hoping for some help in clearing things up. I'm under the impression that the those grades "conferred after the first bachelors degree" which are excluded from the calculation (according to the LSAC website) of the LSAC GPA simply means that any grades you earn after the completion of your B.A. (i.e. in an MA or PhD program) do not count toward the calculation of your LSAC GPA. However, I've also heard that "those grades conferred after the first bachelors degree" means that, upon the completion of a major, the LSAC would stop calculating your GPA (i.e. if one finished their major in their Junior year with 3.7 overall GPA, but went on to graduate with a 3.8, the LSAC would still only calculate the 3.7 GPA). (To me) The latter scenario seems unlikely, but I was wondering if anyone out there could shed some definitive light on the subject.</p>
<p>It has nothing to do with when you complete your major; what matters is when you receive your first bachelor’s degree. After that, the LSAC will stop changing your GPA.</p>
