Update transcript with a 4.0 but easy courses?
This semester I got a 4.0 but it's pretty obvious I took easy courses. Should I update my transcripts which would raise my gpa from for example 3.71 to 3.75? Trying to weigh the increase in GPA vs possible negative view of the easy courses I took this semester. Thoughts?

Yes, update. In the eyes of law school admissions, a 4.0 is a 4.0. It does not matter what the courses were. Plus, there's no way for someone unfamiliar with the courses to know how easy or not any given course is.porzingis3 wrote:This semester I got a 4.0 but it's pretty obvious I took easy courses.

Okay I will update, thanks! FWIW I took three 100 level courses out of five classes so I thought just that on its face would imply easy.
