Hmm, I wonder if there will be repercussions for not providing them this cycle.bdubs wrote:Yes, you are required to provide them if they are college level courses taken prior to receiving you bachelors.
Schools have people reapply all the time. Are you retaking the LSAT? Are you getting substantive work experience over the next year? I think either of those would overshadow a small change in GPA.descartesb4thehorse wrote:Hmm, I wonder if there will be repercussions for not providing them this cycle.bdubs wrote:Yes, you are required to provide them if they are college level courses taken prior to receiving you bachelors.
It may be interesting if any adcomms looked into how I've improved my gpa in a year despite having graduated before beginning the application process. Damn TLS, if I had had you in November of last year, you might have saved my cycle before it began.
You're fine, they probably won't even go back through your old summary report to notice that your GPA changed slightly.descartesb4thehorse wrote:I'll be applying upwards of 5 months earlier with WE and volunteer experience that is going to shape my personal statement. It was a tough decision to redo the cycle, considering I got in to Northwestern, but I couldn't justify it with no money.
Probably retaking the LSAT in October as well. It'll be like a whole new me, with recycled LORs.
Thanks. It's actually a fairly large jump for me though so I'm excited. (I'm at x.x9, so if I'm able to get it to the next point, it'll actually be one of the biggest thresholds one can cross) Do law schools typically round up or typically look at the first two numbers: i.e. would a 3.79 be seen as generally a 3.8 or a 3.7?bdubs wrote:You're fine, they probably won't even go back through your old summary report to notice that your GPA changed slightly.descartesb4thehorse wrote:I'll be applying upwards of 5 months earlier with WE and volunteer experience that is going to shape my personal statement.

I think schools use the hundredth decimal place when reviewing files, so your 3.79 would be a 3.79. Hopefully your little boost means going from below median to above median at some schools though.descartesb4thehorse wrote:Thanks. It's actually a fairly large jump for me though so I'm excited.

At that level, it only matters in relation to the median.bdubs wrote:I think schools use the hundredth decimal place when reviewing files, so your 3.79 would be a 3.79.
