Leherself Wrote:One thing to note about grad schools is that some will not count exams as part of your undergrad GPA even if they're graded - if you're looking at a specific school it's worth checking. For what it's worth, I never studied for more than a few hours for any of my UExcels, and I've never scored less than a B. But then, My gpa is beyond saving so I never worried too much about that, lol.
This is off topic, but I wonder how LSAC would look at things like graded UExcels. Not that it matters much for me, just the thought of taking the LSAT gives me a panic attack (and if somehow I miraculously did a decent job, I'd still never have a way to pay for law school). Each law school uses the LSAC's recalculation of your GPA, and I have a feeling they would include UExcels in that, as they seem to be pretty broad as to what they look at.
