LSAC GPA vs College GPA
Your LSAC GPA may differ from your university GPA because LSAC applies a standardized grading methodology across all applicants.
LSAC may include repeated courses, convert grades differently, and combine coursework from multiple institutions into one cumulative GPA.
Many colleges also use a 4.0 grading scale, while LSAC includes A+ grades as 4.33 when applicable.
