My UG may be the worst school in America Forum

[ThreeRivers]

Lol, anyway this hurts me?

[ThreeRivers]

40 out of 85 in bottom 19 percentile FTW!

[iamrobk]

Haha wow. I go to a large public school and the distribution of LSAT scores is pretty much consistent with the percentiles.

[ThreeRivers]

Yea, it is a small local college that is basically a teacher making factory for all the local schools around here (which may explain why so many of them struggle). It is just a step up from Community College tbh... it was known as my high school's "13th grade"

Wow - what's so impressive is the difference between the LSAT score distribution and the GPA distribution. Despite the fact that they're missing some crucial skills, the large majority of people at your school have great GPAs.

I recall reading an interview with an admissions dean in which he claimed that when the LSAT scores are low and the GPAs are high for a school, that casts some doubt on the applicant's GPA. But admissions reps seem to say all sorts of stuff like that, and then admit the applicants with the best numbers anyway.

Uh yeah, well some classes are either curved or taught to a lower standard. What are they going to do? Not give out any A's?

Log in to your LSAC account and go to the transcripts page; it's in the 'Academic Summary Report' - the link is on the right side of the page.

holy grade inflation

holy grade inflation

Grade inflation with a school that's filled with morons. I'd subtract .7 from your GPA if I was an adcom.

What is LSAT Median and GPA Median for your school? You can find the specific numbers below this chart.

What would the impact be in my case.... My 2nd semester I got a 0.00 (multiple deaths of those close to me should have withdrew)... Every other semester I have a 4.0 on a 4.0 scale... So my lsac gpa isn't that high but it's obvious I have ability for higher, but then my ug is a joke

Do these 2 factors just cancel each other out / my gpa is what it is?
