Reported GPA's on 4.33 or 4.0 Scale?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this TLS site, so I am not sure if I am posting in the correct location. My apologies, I am still trying to figure everything out. I am from Canada so LSAT/GPA medians posted on Canadian law school's admissions pages are all based on a 4.0 scale (last 60 or 90 credits depending on the school). From my understanding American schools utilize a 4.33 scale (LSAC conversion rules). I am just wondering if the reported GPA medians on American law school's admission pages are based on this 4.33 scale or on the standard 4.0 scale. If anyone could shed some light on this it would be appreciated.

Thanks
