Top Law Schools

I´ve seen some material on law school resume help that say to put something to the effect of "GPA since fall 200x"

I have a 3.47 LSAC GPA (3.5 undergrad, 3.8ish in major), so I´m wondering to put considering the 3.47 is well below medians for schools I want to go to. Any advice is much appreciated!

Right now I have decided to just not put a GPA since putting anything but a high GPA seems silly, but I do wonder if it ultimately won't matter since the reviewer may notice it isn't there and be more drawn to it anyway.

don't do any of this. They have your transcript, rendering putting your gpa superfluous, and they have your transcript, rendering noting a grade trend superfluous. the only reason for gpa addendums are tramatic events/illness, etc.

I would strongly recommend no one ever do this. If I read that resume, I'd be looking at the transcript to see exactly how bad the GPA was before that date. It's like saying, "I haven't killed anyone for 10 years!"

It would not be as catastrophic as the other two posters seem to think it'd be, but definitely do not do it
