haha, they wont care.GargamelITT wrote:I have about a 3.7 from my UG. on my LSDAS report it says this GPA is 56th percentile for my school. I didn't realize the grade inflation was that bad here - to what extent is that going to cheapen my GPA in the eyes of adcomms? will they still look at it as a legit 3.7, or have a tendency to laugh it off?
most likely not,but.. wow... 3.7 and 56%?? Thats like a mean of 3.6....Lyov Myshkin wrote:haha, they wont care.GargamelITT wrote:I have about a 3.7 from my UG. on my LSDAS report it says this GPA is 56th percentile for my school.

haha lyov 3.4 is still a little grade inflated I think.. ours is like 3.25~3.3, which is still like a B+ average. I think thats quite high..Lyov Myshkin wrote:50% at my school is like 3.4

I believe it is people who have sent transcripts to LSAC.. Who intend to apply to law schools.airefresco wrote:Doesn't that number only account for students applying to law schools, not the entire student body?

No not absurd. A 3.5 at Yale and Harvard would have 10 LSAT points higher on average than a 3.8 in some low tier state school. Yet, law school seems that the 3.5 is inferior even though it's harder to get that 3.5.
Well whichever way LSAC makes the policy its never going to be completely fair.. I mean the whole two numbers = 90% of your application makes things the way it is.. Not much we can do about it I guess.Black-Blue wrote:No not absurd. A 3.5 at Yale and Harvard would have 10 LSAT points higher on average than a 3.8 in some low tier state school.

If anything, top UGs are grade deflated, using LSAT as adjuster.
LSAC needs to have a school adjustment factor for GPA.
Seems fair to me. Pretty much everyone who goes to Michigan or Texas or BC would go to Harvard or Yale if they could (excluding the fact that some people like to watch and be a part of the sports scene and the fact that some people wouldn't want to be the dumbest person at their school).
