Possibly silly LSAC GPA question Forum

[Syme]

LSAC recently processed my undergraduate transcript. My official cumulative GPA according to my undergraduate transcript was a 3.72. LSAC is showing a cum of 3.75.

Is this discrepancy a mistake or is there a process about which I am unaware that has adjusted my GPA up?

Thanks for your insight!

Did you have any A+ grades?

Or your school's numerical value of certain grades might be slightly off from LSAC's (3.3 instead of 3.33 for a B+ or something along those lines).

I did have a few A+ grades.

I gather that this kind of variation is not out of the ordinary.

Big follow up question:

I have manually input my GPA across the applications in a variety of places (resume, etc). Should I go back and change the 3.72 to a 3.75? Is there anything wrong with doing so?

You graduated from the school with THEIR GPA, not LSAC's adjusted GPA. Leaving it on the resume/applications is fine.

Also, the law schools don't really look at the GPA you enter in the various places anyway, they'll mainly be looking at the academic summary.

Also, if you did any community college courses, those are factored into your LSAC GPA.
