Top Law Schools

Long story short, put the GPA LSAC reported to my law school as my undergrad GPA. Problem is that GPA factored in my Jr. College courses, my undergrad gpa is a bit lower. Didn't even think of this, how screwed am I?

No one will care. If someone makes a big deal of it, just produce screenshots of the LSAC GPA. That's the official GPA law schools accepted you under, anyway.

Even if that's not technically correct, it's definitely a colorable argument. Change your resume to reflect the GPA listed on your official undergrad transcripts going forward, but I probably wouldn't make a deal out of any resumes you've already sent out

You'll be fine, but check with your CSO. Despite their incompetency, my CSO saved me in a situation similar to this before. PM me if you would like more details. This error is nowhere near as egregious as mine, I promise, and everything worked out.

why are you putting your undergrad gpa on your resume? did you have a technical major relevant to the jobs you're looking for?

Thanks, if any firm was going to ask from my undergrad transcript I was going to send both my undergrad and Jr. College. Screenshot is a good idea, I'm not looking for any IP so hopefully they never ask for verification.

I just followed my CSO template which had undergrad gpa section
