LSDAS gpa versus your institutions gpa Forum

[ktaraq]

What do schools really look at?? What is the difference really? Ugh my LSDAS gpa is lower than my institutions, how will schools view this?

They look at the LSDAS gpa. A lot of peoples LSDAS gpa is a lot lower than their actual UG GPA. Unfortunately, it is due to the fact that the lsac counts both grades for re-taken classes and has a different gpa scale than most schools.
