Academic Records

Prepare for the LSAT with Hey Future Lawyer

Get law school admissions help from Gradmissions:

Is the GPA on your college transcript the GPA law schools will use?

In Episode 10, Ben Parker and Autumn Lockett explain why your LSAC GPA can differ from the number your university reports. College credits earned in high school, community college courses, and both attempts at a repeated class can all affect the calculation. They also discuss A+ grades, transfers, withdrawals, pass/fail courses, and study abroad grades.

Graduate work can strengthen the story your application tells, but it does not replace your undergraduate LSAC GPA. Ben and Autumn explain how admissions readers view that distinction and walk through where to find your Academic Summary Report in your LSAC account.

You will learn which academic records deserve an early check, why grade replacement may be a surprise, and how to spot your actual LSAC GPA before you apply.
