Top Law Schools

Hello,

Im doing an exchange program in Asian country. Their GPA system is SO different from LSAC (4.0 for A+, 3.0 for A, 2.0 for B..) and so my gpa on transcript is 3.7 (6 A+s with 2 As) but LSAC GPA is 4.23.

How will LSAC report it as?
are there any ppl going to law school from Asian universities? How did you guys' GPA turn into?

--

Also, I heard I need not report my exchange program GPA if my exchange program is less than a year. So IF my GPA will be reported as 3.7 on LSAC, will I be wise to quit the exchange program now (the second semester hasnt been begun) if my original GPA at home institution is higher? Because if I get like 10 A+s with 4As and end up like 3.6 after the second semester, my LSAC GPA will go down, which will not occur if I quit the program now (because i need not report anyways).

Thank you

Question:

Are you transferring credit to an American university? I did a semester abroad in a foreign college (actually did much better there relative to my peers - highest GPA in the program i.e. opposite of my undergrad).

If you're just straight up in an Asian university, your GPA kind of doesn't count - your LSAT will be your end all be all.

Yes Im transferring credits to American University.. How did your GPA while doing an exchange program counted as?

I'm not sure how this is a problem.

LSAC will convert it differently - probably in your favor - than your home institution
