Double Bachelor's Degrees and Effect on LSAC GPA?

Post by qwerty334 » Sun Apr 18, 2021 8:18 pm

I'm currently an undergrad student pursuing a double major but I recently found out that I can instead get two separate bachelor's degrees (in those respective majors) by taking like 2 extra classes since I brought in lots of AP and dual enrollment credits. I would be granted both degrees at the same time.

My question, thus, is that will grades from both degrees be factored into my LSAC gpa? I know that LSAC only considers your first bachelors degree, but what if you get two at the same time? Any answers and advice are appreciated!! :)

I did this and grades from both degrees were factored into LSAC GPA.

The policy is more about timing than counting only one degree. LSAC counts every college course taken for credit up to the point at which you earned your first bachelors degree. So as Bobby suggested, they'll count all your courses for both degrees as long as they're both granted at the same time.
