Key Takeaways
LSAC will convert your undergraduate GPA to a standard 4.0 scale for the first undergraduate degree earned.
Some items from your transcripts will not be factored into your LSAC-calculated cumulative GPA.
If you have repeated a class and both grades appear on the transcript, both grades will be used to calculate your LSAC cumulative GPA.
Note: Students who studied abroad through an international school for an equivalent of one year (or more) of credit must submit transcripts from those institutions. An international credential evaluation will be completed to determine degree and credit equivalency to degrees or credit earned in the U.S. Even if you studied abroad for less than a year, you may want to request those transcripts to allow law schools to see your grades — especially if you had a strong performance in those classes.
