does having a MA increase your chances in admissions?

Popcornlover81 - Almost not at all, but no one can really say for sure.

along the same vein, I understand admissions are hyperfocused on LSAT scores, but about gpa - would it make a diff that my GPA was higher in grad school (MA) vs. my undergrad GPA?

[] trox99

22:22

No not really

[] trox99

22:23

Undergrad GPA is what gets reported for their stats

Ok, that makes sense

Hey, so my CAS transcript evaluation shows my GPA as Superior (because Im a foreign applicant). Does anybody know what superior means in GPA terms? Like a 3.9 or 4?

[] trox99

1:12

I’m not sure if you can really put a number on an international GPA

[] trox99

1:13

I think it basically means you are effectively a median GPA candidate since you don’t hurt their stats.

[] trox99

1:15

In other words, there becomes a ton of emphasis on the LSAT, so you better be above median

SubstantialFertileNightingale

6:01

ahh ok

SubstantialFertileNightingale

6:03

But i have heard that the CAS evaluation for international transcripts is categorised into 3: Superior, above average and below average.

SubstantialFertileNightingale

6:04

So, considering it is superior it would be some kind of a boost right. Cus atm I'm a super splitter.

@EmptyGoat: I have been wanting to get into dnd for years at this point

[] trox99

9:25

Just from the research I’ve done and things I’ve read… of course I could be wrong🤷🏼‍♂️

[] trox99

9:29

Superior is obviously the best but I still think that the LSAT is far more important and is going to be what ultimately gets you either accepted or denied
