Two LSAC gpa Questions

Post by nihility » Thu Jun 09, 2016 1:18 am

Hello all,

I studied abroad for a semester in Asia, my home university being USC. While abroad I passed all my courses, and they all show on my USC transcript as "pass" with no grade specified, and are not included in my USC gpa. Am I correct in assuming these will not be considered for LSAC gpa purposes?

Secondly, I took community college courses while in high school for a total of over 20 units, receiving all As. Naturally, this would raise my cumulative college gpa if considered, rather than if only my USC gpa were considered. Am i further correct in assuming that these ARE included in LSAC calculations?

For example: 120 units at USC at a 3.6
20 units at community college at a 4.0
LSAC gpa= 3.66?

These are not my actual stats, just want to ensure I have the correct formula.

Thanks if anyone can clarify!

Yeah that seems correct. Just make sure you check it online with a LSAC GPA calculator. https://7sage.com/gpa-calculator/

Sometimes if you school uses an A+ as a grade, it can change.
