It's pretty much 2 numbers, GPA/LSAT, regardless.

The courses you took don't really matter at all. You're pretty much toast, unfortunately. What kind of GPA are you looking at?CardozoLaw09 wrote:As in I'm not really at all toast?

Re: Check out my report card?
Not to mention unfortunately you're competing against a lot of students who will have similarly, if not more, difficult courses
I had hoped that my undergraduate school and the fact that my gpa is in the top 10% of my major, which is notoriously difficult at my school, would make a difference
NOPE
it wont lol
stinks but it's true

Re: Check out my report card?
If I can score a 170 on the LSAT would that not qualify me as a 'splitter' though? I still have one more year to raise my GPA as much as possible and I'm hoping I can graduate with at least a 3.0.

Re: Check out my report card?
Right now, the eyball test says your gpa looks like it's barely a 2. You aren't graduating with a 3.0 with all those credits already.CardozoLaw09 wrote:If I can score a 170 on the LSAT would that not qualify me as a 'splitter' though?

I wouldn't count on getting a 170 either....but eh study hard for the lsat...it's possible.
Also, can you even graduate with an Econ degree since you have an "ncr" (which I'm assuming means no credit) in two intro econ courses?

Re: Check out my report card?
Even if your UGPA doesn't count it, LSAC will count it in their cumulative GPA, which is the only one that matters.CardozoLaw09 wrote: Yeah - I took the two courses again this past year which is why the first two have NCR next to their names; the first two don't count towards my UGPA. Thanks for your input.
Edit to rephrase.

Re: Check out my report card?
Yeah, don't mean to be a downer man , but that transcript looks rough. Why did you stay an econ major? At this point you have to destroy the lsat to have a good shot at decent schools. Good luck.CardozoLaw09 wrote:Yeah - I took the two courses again this past year which is why the first two have NCR next to their names; the first two don't count towards my UGPA.

Also, what was "the quest for meaning" about? Sounds like a cool class.

Re: Check out my report card?
Yeah, sorry to say I agree with most of the other posters. Your grades are really low. But maybe you can raise them before graduation. Any chance you can take summer/winter break courses (even things you might not need) that are easy As to raise your GPA before you graduate? Or even taking an extra year (example: not doing your senior thesis or whatever else you need to graduate until the following year) then taking as many "A" classes as possible. Those are the only two ways I can see you salvaging this.
Then kill the LSAT and hope for the best.

Does Canada use the British system? If so, those grades are not bad at all. If its the American system, eh... you're in trouble.

Your LSDAS GPA should be 222.87 / 99 = 2.25, so yeah I'd say you're toast. You would need to take 75 credits of straight A's just to hit a 3.0.

Re: Check out my report card?
I'm not the previous poster, but that is the American system. Some schools might be more strict, some more lenient, but giving out ABCDFs etc is the American system. The British system goes "First, Upper Second, Lower Second, Third" or something like that. I'm pretty sure the previous poster was making a joke.CardozoLaw09 wrote: And to the previous poster, we don't use the American System of grading; A 'B' in Canada is anything from 70-74, B+ = 75-79, and an A is 80-89, A + = 90 -100 <--- really hard to get.

FWIW, they won't care about the hard classes or the upward trend.

Sarcasm fail........CardozoLaw09 wrote:No, because then a 30 would be considered a fail. A 'D' is not a failing grade but marginally passing, and 'passing' implies anything over 50.

33 credit hours of B
15 of B+
9 D
12 D+
3 A
12 C+
12 C
You have 96 credit hours according to my calculations to your transcript (the two NCRs still count in LSAC GPA even if it doesnt for your school since you retook the classes).
I inputted all that into http://www.lawpad.com/gpa_calculator/
And got your current LSAC GPA to be 2.48. Pretty much toast. From your current classes, if you could manage straight As, you could get an additional 18 credit hours of A, which would bring it up to 2.72. Then if you did 18 credit hours of A again second semester you would end with a 2.89. This is if you got your next 36 credits of straight As.

Your LSDAS GPA should be 222.87 / 99 = 2.25, so yeah I'd say you're toast. You would need to take 75 credits of straight A's just to hit a 3.0.
You retook 2 classes, but LSAC counts both the original and new grades as if they were separate classes, regardless of how your UG counts them. Those NCR grades are counted as F = 0.0.
Number 2
Yeah I missed the A, so you have 102 credits (20 3-credit classes, 6 6-credit classes, and 2 repeated 3-credit classes). So your GPA is:
3 A
33 B
9 C+
12 C
15 D+
9 D
6 F
234.87 / 102 = 2.30
So you would need 71 credits of A's to reach a 3.0.
Number 3
Your UG (York University) does use the American system, because you can go to this link, search for your UG, and see the official LSAC conversion policy for your UG. You'll see that they count A = 4.0, B = 3.0, etc.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
