My cumulative GPA is 0.5 points lower than my average GPA according to the CAS report. Does anybody know whether law schools take this into account, or if it is something that should be brought up in my addendum? #help

    Depending on where you are located, the schools you are looking at may have different criteria. For example, at the University of Victoria, they look at your cumulative GPA but may remove your lowest graded courses, bumping that GPA up a bit. Other Law Schools in Canada also look primarily at your final two years only. I think it's different in the USA.

    What's an average GPA? Like the marks someone generally gets rather than outliers?

    It’s so shitty but yeah it’s accumulative and law schools look at your total UGPA calculated thru the LSAC services. If there’s a big discrepancy I’d suggest an addendum

    Former admissions officer here. The GPA that law schools use for ranking and reporting purposes is the LSAC cumulative GPA. The CAS Report contains a lot of information about your grades but the cumulative GPA is the one that really matters.
