<p>wow. I didn't know that. I thought A+ and A were the same 4.0</p>
<p>Does that mean when you transfer (or apply to a graduate school), it's possible to have your GPA above 4.0? Or will the other schools who do not use GPA system over 4.0 just count it as a 4.0?</p>
<p>When you apply to law schools, you submit your transcripts to the Law School Data Assembly Service. They recalculate your GPA according to their standards, and they also award a 4.33 for an A+. So even if your undergraduate school does not grant more than a 4.0 for an A+, if your transcript says "A+," it will be computed as a 4.33 in the LSDAS report. I do not know how Ph.D programs look at the GPA.</p>
<p>oh maybe that's why average GPA for law school admits is the highest. Even the law schools outside the top 10 has average GPA above 3.8. Some top schools have GPA as high as 3.94 (in case of Yale and Harvard).</p>
<p>It's the same concept how UCLA and Berkeley has the average GPA of 4.15 or something for undergraduate admission.</p>

<p>This, of course, assumes that top law schools admit the preponderance of their students from schools that offer A+s. I've seen students earn 3.9s and 3.8s at schools that don't offer A+s. I am one of them.</p>
<p>wow howd u get 4.12/4.0?</p>
<p>I got a couple of A+s with the rest of my A's...I guess that's how.</p>
<p>Nspeds, you have 3.8+ at Georgetown? That's amazing!! Where are you planning to transfer?</p>
