Study Abroad Grades Forum

[mapes]

Hey guys, I studied abroad this summer and received around an 85%. in the country i studied this is "high distinction" and is the highest honor one can receive. It is transferring back to my university as a pass/fail grade (obviously i passed) due to the major differences in the grading scales. My question is, will this be looked at as a P or a B by LSAC?

Thanks so much,

B

This has been answered a million times if you search on TLS...or LSAC's site.

Were you actually enrolled at the school, or was it all through your home university? (I studied abroad my junior year, and while most of my classes were through my home university's program in that country, I did take an art class at a local art school. However, I was never actually enrolled in the school, so there were no transcripts or anything. At the end of the class, the professor teaching it wrote down my grade on a piece of paper and sent it to the director of the program. The grade was then just counted as a P on my transcript.)
