Isn't cumulative GPA the "LSAC GPA"? LSAC has informed me I have no cumulative GPA.

Really? I guess I was wrong. Congratulations, the only thing that really matters now is your LSAT score.rcscg wrote:Isn't cumulative GPA the "LSAC GPA"? LSAC has informed me I have no cumulative GPA.

Did the working adults degree give you a bachelor's degree, because if it was something else, the 3.9 might be considered

I'm planning to ED to Northwestern and do a handful of other schools in the T30.bmili wrote: I would look around at LSN if I were you to see if there are other candidates with a similar situation as yours. I have seen some people with peculiar GPA situations underperform their LSAT score. Though the other degree info would help I would think. My point is I would apply to a wide variety of schools to cover your bases, it could be very hit or miss.
Yes. My Academic Summary Report is already complete so nothing is going to change there at this point.JamMasterJ wrote:Did the working adults degree give you a bachelor's degree, because if it was something else, the 3.9 might be considered

Lemme get this straight: you have no GPA and no LSAT score, and you want people to chance you? Ok. Just checking.

No GPA + no LSAT = chances from TTTT to T14. Send your resumes to LSAC and get a GPA.

I practice test above 170 so using it as my score is conservative.Renzo wrote:Lemme get this straight: you have no GPA and no LSAT score, and you want people to chance you? Ok. Just checking.

Unfortunately, that's not necessarily an indication of how you'll perform on the day.

I took it three years ago and got a 167 (never actually applied anywhere). Feel free to post your opinions on that number, although I think 170 is going to be more accurate for this cycle.rad law wrote:Unfortunately, that's not necessarily an indication of how you'll perform on the day.

All depends on how they're gonna calculate that GPA. Send it in and get back to us.rcscg wrote:I took it three years ago and got a 167 (never actually applied anywhere).

I don't think you understand...I do not and will not have a LSAC GPA. When schools get the report, GPA will be blank.

Decent chance you may actually have a 2.7.rcscg wrote:I don't think you understand...I do not and will not have a LSAC GPA. When schools get the report, GPA will be blank.

Oh my B. Well in that case, it all depends on your LSAT, so just hold up, because that's gonna determine pretty much everything.rcscg wrote:I think you missed the post where I said my Academic Summary Report is already finalized...rad law wrote:

estimate your chances as if you have the median gpa at each school
