How to calculate GPA

Post by everything_bagel » Sun Oct 05, 2014 11:49 pm

Hey d00ds, how did those of you who attended UG institutions that didn't rank or calculate GPA (luv ya, LACs :roll: ) list yours on the section of each app that asks for them? I can't imagine what law schools use this section for since they get our LSAC GPAs/transcripts anyway, but I don't want to either be dishonest or hurt myself by omission.

Would you:

a) calculate gpa yourself using 4.0 scale
b) calculate gpa yourself using 4.33 scale
c) list N/A
d) dgaf

even if true d) is not a very helpful answer fyi, I'm in striver checking-apps-over-one-last-time mode

huh? For what? LSAC calculates your gpa for you. go to like the applicant profile page and it will spit out their calculation.

yes, obviously, but for all the applications I've filled out you also list each institution you've attended, as well as your rank and GPA. It's Section 10 for UVA for instance.

Law school predictor has a thing that calculates your lsac gpa for you based on how many credit hours you earned that correspond to each grade.

I think I forgot to enter in my GPA in some of the places and nothing happened.
