Pass/No Pass System and Law Schools

Graduate School Law School

<p>What if your undergrad school ran complete on the Pass/No Pass system (i.e. 3/4 and above = Pass)? What do you put as your GPA during your application process? 3.0?</p>

<p>The LSAC does not assume a GPA. IF you receive a no pass, it will be equated as a “F”. A pass will not give you a GPA</p>

<p>Consider this. If you haven’t graduated yet, take one community college class and get an A+, your LSDAS cumulative GPA would be a 4.33</p>

<p>Could I do that if I already graduated?</p>

<p>Keep in mind that law schools do look at your actual transcript.
If your school runs a complete pass/no pass system, how do they evaluate you? </p>

<p>I guess that there may be a lot of stock placed in your recommendations</p>

<p>Post #3 can’t possibly be right. … can it?</p>

<hr>

<p>In any case, no, it wouldn’t count after you’d graduated. LSDAS GPA goes up until the conferral of your first bachelor’s degree.</p>

<p>Would be pretty sweet if post #5 was the case. I have pretty good letters of recommendations from professors and mentors (perfect score on final projects, no disciplinary record, finished ahead of time, etc). In any case, what would I put as my GPA (such as on the LSAC form)? That’s the part that I’m really confused about.</p>

<p>I guess you will have to request your transcripts to have them sent to the lsac to see what your gpa (if any would come out to be). sounds interesting.</p>
