Since I had no failing grades, just poor ones, I never though bout dropping out. I should hv on retrospect
-
Nevadacity I have already graduated. Nothing I can do now will change the GPA. Looks like u didn't graduate and went back to college and had a brand new transcript
-
I feel for that Canadian guy who graduated from McMaster's with a low GPA in Maths. And no not all Universities in India has harsh grading scales. There are many like Delhi University and numerous private universities with relative grade inflation…
-
I have analyzed why I got a BA evaluation. Technically speaking - my aggregate would have been called average . But since I have had poor marks in my earlier modules, those damning scores took a precedence over my cumulative GPA.
-
All US applicants on TLS, 7Sage etc who complain about their 3.3/3.2 GPA makes me wistful and envious . At my college most of us would have killed for that GPA. In fact the guy who was a summa cum laude at my college had a 3.4 so...

My University actually has A, B, C for each marks obtained. Its in my transcript.
-
Thank you. Honestly my alma mater puts institutions like Purdue, BU to shame. The closest equivalent can be Canada's U of T - where median is C/C+. However I take the responsibility of my poor GPA myself. No point sounding like a whiny teen. There…

Yes am from India. Went to a school with harshest grading curve on earth. Getting a B-in my final year took a lot of effort. Then again may be I was not smart enough to figure how to overcome the grading curve.
-
No I have already graduated. Nothing I can do now honestly. I had a learning disability ( undiagnosed by then) and was studying at a school with ridiculously harsh grading curve C/C-/B-. I don't have any failing grades, but if any UK student is he…
-
I don't have failing grades. I passed all papers. Its just my marks are full of C/C- and B-. I just have a poor GPA ( 2.3 ) or so which appeared as poor or below average.

I am interested in law - mainly family law.

Mods, seems like I necro'd this post again by accident. Please delete my comment. Thank you.

Nope not at all silly. A high LSAT can indeed help you get into a decent school. There are plenty of people who got into good schools like WUSTL, IUB etc with a 173+ LSAT. Try to get a 175+.
-
I think LSAC only uses the grades of your home country. In my country ( India) a B = 50-59%, B+ is 60 and above. A is 70 and above ( and that rarely ever occurs in most Indian universities) . At least when it comes to non STEM majors in India, 70% i…

I am from India - where we have 1st class, second class and 3rd class classification of grades. 1st class = 2:1 of UK, 2nd class 2:2 etc. One more question - will LSAC automatically distribute my transcripts to US law schools, or will they wait unti…
-
Nope we don't have a GPA system. Purely a percentage affair. So candidates like me will have no LSDAS GPA, is that right?
-
I am a prospective super splitter as well. May the force be with you.
-
I suggest you try to hit a 175+. Target T 30 Law Schools. Blanket T14 like Northwestern as well. If you get into NW well and fine, if you are waitlisted you can use that as bargaining to get into some T30 or T40 law schools. All the best.
-
Look up LSN.
-
I also hope OP got her dream school. She was well on her way to score a great LSAT. I sympathize with her more than anything. Worrying about low GPA, giving all to LSAT prep, fretting over getting waitlisted, super splitters have a lot to worry abou…
-
I read somewhere on reddit that this person transferred to Columbia with a 3.4ish GPA and 174 LSAT.... Anyways if you want to practise in New York then you can try for Washington Uni... That's a great law school - ranked 25th. Else Northwestern i…
-
But if OP has either a STEM degree, or has military service, then yes I agree he/she has a good chance at a T30 law school.
-
Mellow_Z... I am a regular lurker in LSN ( Law School Numbers) - and from what I have observed law schools forgive such GPAs only on two rare cases - If major was on STEM. If candidate was a Marine or Military. Suppose a candidate has a low sub …
-
Military/Marine service would rank #1 as law School softs. My research on LSN showed that a lot many military veterans got into top B Schools - one even got into U Penn, with a sub 3.0 . You do the math. But you have to have extensive military exper…
-
Get a 179 or at least 175+. You wont get into T 14, but T 30-40 should be a possibility. If you are an URM chances are even better. Just dont apply to T14, and you will be fine. All the best.

No way you can go and redo your GPA?? Is it possible? Less than 2.0 GPA essentially means you have failed. Does Canada allow students to retake graduation?
