Hi all,


Two questions:


1. Will OLSAS include summer course grades in its calculation of GPA. Also, does anyone know if T14 schools in the US. would include summer course grades?

2. Does OLSAS ground GPA up, down or present it to you as is. (I.e. if I have a CGPA of 3.847 would that be presented as 3.84. 3.85 or simply left at 3.847? Again, if anyone has any insight on the procedures used at T14 schools, that would be much appreciated.

OLSAS includes summer courses in its calculations, though individual schools would have the freedom to ignore them (but most count summer courses).

OLSAS rounds to two decimal places using normal rounding rules.

I'm not familiar with T14 GPA procedures; you should consult LSAC.

I would imagine that most T-14 schools would look at ALL your undergraduate transcripts because those marks are required by LSAC. So yes, summer grades will be included. That said, LSAC does use a 4.0 scale (where 'A' equals 4.0 and A+ 4.3) so your GPA would be damn close to a 4.0, if not higher. Just knock the LSAT out of the park and have fun at your choice of HSY! (just kidding, but good luck)

Here's the link I drew the info from: http://www.lsac.org/...mmarization.asp

Cheers.
