<p>I heard the LSDAS converts your college GPA to a 4.0 scale.</p>
<p>I'm confused, what exact scale?</p>
<p>D 60-70, C 70-80, B 80-90, A 90-100 scale?</p>
<p>Or is it a plus/minus scale?</p>
<p>Yes, there is a +/- equivalent for the numerical scale.</p>
<p>for example:</p>
<p>A+ is the equivalent of 4.33 or 98-100</p>
<p>C+ is the equivalent of 2.33 or 77-79</p>
<p>see page 28</p>
<p>hope this helps</p>
<p>double post</p>
<p>So if my college uses a non +/- system (just a straight 90-100 A) does this mean that I'd be better off shooting for a 98 or higher for the LSDAS even if it just shows up as an A in my college's transcript?</p>
<p>If it shows up as an A on the transcript, it will be calculated as a 4.0.</p>
<p>I'm extremely confused.</p>
<p>So if my school DOESN'T use a +/- system will the LSDAS convert my grades to a +/- system?</p>
<p>Or will it be judgues as the same GPA for my college as my LSDAS.</p>
<p>I'm just afraid I'd have a 3.8 and then my LSDAS gpa would be sub 3.8 etc</p>
<p>If your school uses a 4.0 scale, then there isn't going to be any conversion. They're not going to convert an A to an A+. It doesn't matter that your school doesn't use pluses or minuses. An A will be counted as an A and a B will be counted as a B.</p>
<p>Thanks!<br>

<p>What if my school, UC Berkeley, gives out A+s but calculates them as 4.0's. Do law schools recalculate them?</p>
<p>^ Yes they will.</p>
