Quick question. Should be easy for the savants here.

Me:
168 June LSAT (one and only)
3.2 BA GPA from a Cal State
3.4 MA GPA from a Cal State

Pepperdine:
162 Median LSAT / 163 75th percentile LSAT
3.6 median GPA / 25th - 3.4 / 75th - 3.8

Will I be accepted?

Will my higher than average LSAT make up for my lower than average GPA?

I've heard that Pepperdine is a "GPA school" on a couple occasions.

I've heard that they do not consider grad school GPA but only BA GPA.

Correct. LSAC only uses your first UG bachelors grades to calculate your GPA. So your MA doesnt factor into your GPA. Its considered a "soft factor".

Your numbers seem to be good enough for Pep. Go to lawschoolpredictor and see what it says.

Good luck!

Wrong board.

It sounds like you're more qualified to answer this question than many of the people who will comment. Did you take the LSAT out of country?

No, I took the LSAT in the good old US of A but I had a temporary hold on my score.

I feel bad for you.
