However, my LSDAS gpa without the abroad grades is target school's median + .01. For illustrative purposes, think mythical school X has 3.8, and abroad grades bring it down to 3.79 (not my exact situation)
The abroad grades (the A-) drops it to exactly median, should the school do their own calculation. Hence my LSDAS GPA should stay the same even after my abroad grades are in.

LSAT is the target school's exact median, so I'm right there on both scores.

If a school only cares about whether you're above/at/below median because of the LSDAS GPA they have to report to ABA/wherever else, and my LSDAS gpa is above median by .01, then the inclusion of my study abroad grades should have no negative effect, right?
