Question re:Undergraduate GPA on Legal Employment Apps
Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2013 9:02 pm
Small question which is bothering me; the undergraduate college I attended reset the GPA on my transcript when I switched degree programs. My transcript includes all the courses I took but the cumulative GPA on the bottom only includes my last 30-40 credits.
On many legal job online apps it asks for undergraduate GPA; should I give the GPA on the bottom of my transcript, the GPA as calculated by myself including all my credits (higher), or GPA as calculated by LSAC (highest of the three)?
[The difference is significant; each is .2 higher than the the last.]
Relevant only as I am patent-bar eligible and my undergrad is sure to come up.
Most firms will not receive my undergrad transcripts since they don't request them but if and when they do, I would not want them to assume I am lying.
Thanks
