<p>Do grades from study abroad programs (universities or study programs outside the US) factor into your LSAC gpa? Do the grades show up on the transcript they send to law schools?</p>
<p>LSAC has a section about study abroad grades. IMO, it's not that clearly written so I can understand why there is always confusion about the topic. </p>
<p>My kid did a semester study abroad- it was sponsored by another college in NYS. She received a semester transcript with grades from that college.<br>
She had the transcript from her "home school" and the study abroad school sent to LSAC.
So in her case, grades from her study abroad program were calculated into her LSAC GPA. She needed to send in the 2 separate transcripts as the study abroad grades did not appear on her regular UG transcript nor were those grades calculated into her gpa from her UG school. </p>
<p>There are exceptions for study abroad grades to be sent in- but please check with lsac site, as I found their explaination a bit confusing.</p>
