This is the same topic yeah, but maybe this part of the forum is more suitable.

Does your international academic performance being regarded "superior" (equivalent of A, where there is no A+, according to the table provided on same document) by LSAC Foreign CAS Evaluation Report mean you can put all your concerns about GPA to rest in the application process and focus on other parts?

a link or background would be helpful

Hmm black box fail, but there is no harm in people learning my school's name

Just call LSAC and ask.

I asked to LSAC representative,

"Does this mean, from a purely GPA standpoint, I will be ok wherever I apply?"

"Yes, the quality of your academic record is superior, so yes, you will indeed be ok"

I guess time to redouble my efforts on the subject of LSAT.

So, it seems that if I get a 175+ LSAT (highest PT is 178, without looking at bibles -just PTs-, and I will go through those until October), I should be in at pretty much anything then (except Y) ?

Any comments?

- No actual LSAT score but without any formal studying (Bibles, Superprep etc) max PT is 178.
- Academic performance is reported as superior. Grade average is 85.65 / 100; LSAC provides a conversion table in same report showing that it equals to "A". (80 - 100). Does this mean my GPA will be regarded as 4.00 for admission purposes?
- If GPA is 4.00 and I do get my PT scores on the actual exam, I do have a chance at HYS right?

I do not think you will be regarded as a 4.0. I think they will just assume you have solid academics. I think your LSAT will prob be weighted more than others, so with a 176+, I think you have a good shot everywhere (Y will need softs, too).

Also, I don't get why 85.65/100 is superior

It's probably because universities in different countries are graded differently. OP, do you have a class rank?

Well its possible that I was highly ranked in my major but our faculty only made the first 3 of the faculty known, from all 6 majors combined and not individual rankings of each major; thus it is not shown on my transcript.
