Applying to Law School with a Design Background.

Post by Ella94 » Thu May 23, 2019 2:32 pm

Hi !

I’m am looking to apply for law school this fall. I graduated from a Design Undergraduate Program with a BFA. My classes consisted mostly of art/design studios and liberal art classes. How would LSAC calculate my gpa? Would they include my art/design studio classes (although they are irrelevant) or just calculate my gpa with the liberal art classes ?

Your GPA is calculated based on all grades received up to the point you get your first bachelor's degree. The fact that it was a BFA is irrelevant; if your classes were graded and taken for credit, those grades will be counted in your LSAC GPA.
