Although this follows the traditional TLS is wisdom, I have to say, this is a little extreme. I can't see one easy online course on an otherwise foreign transcript looking good to an admissions team.vdog wrote:1. Take an online college course from an accredited American online program. Get an A+.

Re: Is this a legit law school strategy?
I got my brother to do this. I guess we'll find out how he did next year.
EDIT> I have another friend who did something similar. He has one class at an A, (4.0), and everything else is passes on a P/F scale. So LSDAS calculates this as a 4.0. He had a 167 LSAT, and got into a couple of T14s at sticker, and a full ride from a T20. He ended up taking the full ride at T20.
I myself only have 20 or so graded units, with a LSDAS of 3.82.
