Question about GPA for Law School

<p>I assume that any sort of distance education classes do not count in one's GPA for law school right?</p>

<p>Also, I took a course at a different university last summer for credit. The school does not give A+s, however, I received a 99% in the class. Is there any way to report this number to LSDAS so they can count it as an A+ when calculating my LSDAS GPA?</p>

<p>Any course you have ever taken in higher education counts to LSAC. This includes distance ed. You must submit all transcripts. They calculate your GPA and there is nothing you can say or do about it… There is no appeals process, they use their own formula, and you can not add addendum trying to get them to change your GPA.</p>

<p>BTW LSAC uses a 4.0 scale. Having an A+ does not matter… </p>

<p>You need to learn the rules that govern their GPA adjustments, you need to commit them to memory. It was one of the first things I learned when I got serious about law school and helped me get my 3.914 LSAC GPA (not that it mattered I did not get accepted to law school with my only slightly above average 156 LSAT)</p>

<p>Below are all of the rules about LSAC and GPA

<p>If it shows up on your transcript as an A, then no. If it shows up as a 99, they will count it as an A+.</p>

<p>LSAC counts an A+ as a 4.33 in calculating your GPA (whether or not your school does). Check the link you posted.</p>

<p>Hmmm guess i was wrong for sure… wish i went to a school that reported A+ or numerical grades on the transcripts I sent to LSAC. It would have been nice… but I guess pointless in the end cause with my low LSAT score I was doomed.</p>
