Which GPA is LSAC GPA?

Post by thughes07 » Mon Nov 22, 2010 5:44 pm

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but there are 3 different GPA's listed on my LSAC page:

GPA- 3.54
Cum GPA/College- 3.49
Cum Across GPA- 3.28

Which of these is the LSAC GPA that will be sent to schools that I'm applying to? Thanks in advance.

Cumulative GPA (bottom right corner)

should be same as "Cum Across GPA- 3.28"

Thanks! Not what I was hoping for, unfortunately, but it's adequate. One bad freshman semester killed it.

Should I add an addendum explaining my first semester grades? By year, my GPA is 2.64, 3.5, 3.46, 3.4, 3.57, and 3.54. Will they pay attention to the fact that my GPA after the first year was far better?

No. No addendum. They will see your GPA each year, and they'll assume you fucked up freshman year because you were a freshman and they'll be right. No need to explain. Not sure they will take into account the upward grade trend, but I hope so for both our cases, but I'm pretty sure they only care if it is a downward grade trend.

This was already answered above. It should be the "Cum. Across" number.
