Hi, I'm currently enrolled in university in Spain and am planning to take the LSAT in January. In admissions terms, I'd guess with my current Spanish uni GPA I would be considered a splitter, given I get my goal LSAT score. But I've read that my Spanish GPA won't necessarily be considered? I'm pretty confused on how much my GPA will be worth in regards to my application, if anyone has any insight about this it would be very much appreciated! Thanks

You can read a bit more here on our admissions course, @AronnyaSaha! But the gist is that people who receive their bachelors degrees from schools outside of the US and Canada will NOT have a reportable GPA for the purposes of calculating medians. That's because there are just too many GPA scales around the world and it's impossible to try and recalcuate things on to what is the standard in the States and Canada (the 4.0 scale).
What that means is that you only have one stat that can possibly help you out - your LSAT. That could be a good thing for you if you feel like your GPA would be considered a smidge low.
@JacobBaska Apologies, I hadn't seen this until now. Thank you so much, super helpful!!!
