If You're Law School Bound - I Want To Help You Get There!!!

I think it's pretty common that some schools don't actually care about graded credits. I simply submitted my transcript like any other law school student. I applied to several.  I got wait accepted to three and waitlisted on one and denied on two or three.  

Where are you interested in going?

The stated GPA on my transcript is 4.0.  But the Capstone is the only graded work that I have on my transcript. So to me, although it was sufficient for acceptance, it is not an accurate measure of student performance.  LSAT score was a 155 on first sitting and stayed with that score.  I advise that you study for the LSAT. I did not do too much prep for it and went in almost raw. It is very possible to ace that gimmick.
