<p>What is a competitive GPA for law school? Also, is the GPA based out of 4.33 (A+)? or 4.0?</p>
<p>It's going to depend on the school you want to attend. Also an A+ is worth 4.33.</p>
<p>Yes, I understand an A+ is a 4.33, but I'm wondering if that's what the colleges view your GPA out of, or is it out of a 4.0?</p>
<p>LSAC will figure your GPA and send that to Law Schools, and they go out of 4.33. So all schools will see your GPA with a maximum 4.33.</p>
<p>Don't forget LSAT is just as imp. And, yes, it really depends the school.</p>
<p>Well, GPA is out of a 4.33, but law schools rarely, if ever, see students who got straight A+ grades. They know that most schools don't offer A+ grades. </p>
<p>Think of it like the electoral college. There are 538 up for grabs, but you don't need all of that to get in.</p>
<p>Some schools give A+'s to students scoring 97.5-100. Technically, it would be unfair if not all the other colleges did this, but I guess it's so rare for anyone to consistently gets those marks that it doesn't skew the admissions process...</p>
<p>Many colleges don't give A+. Where it evens out to some degree is the fact that those same schools don't give A-'s either.</p>
<p>Va Tech gives A-, but not A+. I've heard that this is the case at other schools as well.</p>
