Degree vs Cumulative GPA

Which one matters the most to schools? My degree is lower than my cumulative. I'm writing an addendum as to why that is, but I'm worried this discrepancy will hurt my chances of getting into my top choice

Thanks for the post. I was just wondering this myself, but I'm in the other boat. My Degree is higher than cumulative.

@hotranchsauce @skiman2020, Your Cumulative LSAC GPA is the more important number. This is the GPA that is used for admissions decisions, as it is the one that is reported. Schools do see and consider your Degree GPA, but give more weight to the cumulative one.

Howdy, Stranger!
