LSAC GPA

JM.Z

Hi all,

I understand that some international undergrad transcripts appear as "0" despite having a GPA numeric, and will not count into GPA medians for law schools.

I am wondering if anybody knows how a foreign undergrad institution's grades, specifically Canada, factor into our US law school applications. Do law schools include Canadian GPA's in their rankings for GPA medians? Will law schools weigh the Canadian GPA just as heavily as a US undergrad GPA?
Is there something special on our Academic Summary that would indicate such a thing?

Thanks all

If you received an undergraduate degree from a Canadian institution, your CAS Report will show a GPA, just like a US undergraduate.
