Application-service GPAs often differ from campus GPAs because repeated, forgiven, or transferred coursework may still matter during verification.

How LSAC GPA Calculator Works
The LSAC GPA is the GPA law schools receive through the Credential Assembly Service. It can differ from the GPA printed on your transcript because LSAC standardizes grades across undergraduate institutions.
The most visible difference is the A+ rule. On the LSAC conversion table, an A+ can receive 4.33 quality points, while many colleges cap A+ at 4.0 or do not award A+ at all. Repeated courses also matter because LSAC includes every convertible undergraduate attempt rather than simply accepting your school's repeat-forgiveness policy.
Use this calculator as a planning estimate. Enter each undergraduate course, the transcript grade, and attempted credits. If your transcript has unusual marks, non-graded credit, withdrawals, or international coursework, compare your entries with LSAC's official transcript summarization rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my LSAC GPA different from my college GPA?
LSAC recalculates undergraduate grades with its own conversion rules. Your school may exclude an old attempt, cap A+ at 4.0, or display a different institutional GPA. LSAC standardization is designed for law school comparison.
Does LSAC count A+ as 4.33?
Yes, when an A+ appears as a convertible grade, LSAC's scale can assign 4.33 quality points. That is why some applicants see a CAS GPA above 4.0.
Does LSAC count repeated courses?
Generally, every undergraduate attempt that can be converted is part of the calculation. Do not enter only the newer grade if your transcript shows both attempts.
Is this the official LSAC GPA?
No. It is an estimator based on published conversion rules. The official value is the one LSAC calculates after receiving and processing your transcripts.
