I went to undergrad in Ontario and LSAC calculated my GPA using letter rather than number grades even though both are provided on the transcript I sent in. It added up to a nice GPA bump.

From what I've read, if your % based transcript shows the equivalent letter grade (like loveduck), you're fine, if not, you're screwed.
That's a relief. I never knew US schools had such a different grading scale. A 98 is an A+?! Usually the highest mark in the class at my school is like 88-92... sometimes lower... But as long as they take letter grades before percentages, then I'm good.

Thanks all

I'm almost certain that they translate your letter grade to their system. No way the 98=A+ system applies to Canada.

And yes, you probably will get a nice bump in GPA. I go to University of Toronto, a 85 there translate to 3.9 when applying to Canadian law schools, where it translate to 4.0 when applying to American schools. And a 90 is 4.33.

You are in luck, OP.
