Hey y'all, I just realized that LSAC scores my GPA (CAS GPA) much differently than my undergraduate GPA (uGPA) and I am very concerned when it comes to law school admissions.
My university doesn't include A+ in the grading scale so the highest possible score is an A. Because of this, my uGPA is a 3.91, but my CAS GPA is a 3.64. The fact that there is so much difference is completely horrifying and I am very scared when it comes to getting into my dream schools. My LSAT score has wavered between 160 - 163. I know that if I can get much higher, I could possibly get into my goal schools despite my CAS GPA. Either way, Im shook and spooked.
Any suggestions on how to overcome this? Should I write an addendum to clarify that my university doesn't use A+ and that skewed the results? I am not sure what to do. I would be mad appreciative of advice.
I would write about them. While a 3.6 is good gpa, you could argue that the emotional distress prevented you from achieving higher grades and that you have a lot more potential as well.
