Sorry to be blunt but past data shows that Harvard, for some reason, also cares about your grade evaluation and if you do not have a "Superior" you are SOL. A guy with Above Average / 179 got rejected.

Re: Will this get me into harvard?
What's an LSAC rating? Does LSAC assign an applicant a superlative based on his or her transcripts?

LSAC sends the transcripts of foreign students to an outside organization that provides classifications such as Superior, Above Average, etc. to equate them to U.S. students' transcripts.kulshan wrote:What's an LSAC rating?

That's a fair point. I think you have decent enough credentials to at least apply to the school.justwondering123 wrote:sorry whats SOL?Nulli Secundus wrote:No.justwondering123 wrote:an LSAC rating of 'above average'

It was an extra special 175 so they tacked on the "+" to the score.dpk711 wrote:Is the 175+ score hypothetical?justwondering123 wrote:an LSAC rating of 'above average'

Yes - check the OP's post history. He's just recently started thinking about US law schools.dpk711 wrote:Is the 175+ score hypothetical?
Since students with foreign UG degrees aren't assigned an LSAC GPA, law schools aren't required to report GPAs for them.slacker wrote:How does the LSAC rating of foreign students affect a law schools GPA numbers?

Yes, but some schools (near the top) still require superiors, for a single, globe-spanning, incredibly important reason: Because they can.AntipodeanPhil wrote:Since students with foreign UG degrees aren't assigned an LSAC GPA, law schools aren't required to report GPAs for them.slacker wrote:How does the LSAC rating of foreign students affect a law schools GPA numbers?

I kind of get grammar policing, but I thought it was pretty universally acceptable to be lazy with capitalization on the internet.SilverE2 wrote:Seriously?haus wrote:Learning to capitalize Harvard would be a nice step.

I do not think it is that high of a hurdle to remember to capitalize the name of the school that one hopes to get into, especially when that school in question is one as notable as Harvard.Kabuo wrote:I kind of get grammar policing, but I thought it was pretty universally acceptable to be lazy with capitalization on the internet.SilverE2 wrote:Seriously?haus wrote:Learning to capitalize Harvard would be a nice step.

Lol. So Cooley doesn't need to be capitalized, but Harvard does? Where's the cutoff? T14?

Re: Will this get me into Harvard?
You know, neither do I. OP probably does know that Harvard is a proper noun, and he probably did remember that when he was writing. I think he probably chose not to, and I think that says pretty much nothing about anything.haus wrote:I do not think it is that high of a hurdle to remember to capitalize the name of the school that one hopes to get into, especially when that school in question is one as notable as Harvard.Kabuo wrote:I kind of get grammar policing, but I thought it was pretty universally acceptable to be lazy with capitalization on the internet.SilverE2 wrote:Seriously?haus wrote:Learning to capitalize Harvard would be a nice step.

Re: Will this get me into Harvard?
I think that it is a matter of showing respect. Personally I would make an effort to capitalize Cooley, as it's graduates are eligible to sit for the bar, and although I have desire to go there I do not have the negitive feelings towards it that are common here at TLS.Paraflam wrote: Lol.

I readily admit my spelling and gramer leave much to be desired, but making an effort to show respect for the institutione I aspire to become a member of seems merely to be good form.
