on resume, use UGPA or LSAC GPA?

[rush the rushdie]

i'm assuming UGPA, but wanted to see what others thought..

I would say LSAC, because that's what they use and care about.  If your UGPA is significantly different and there is a good reason for it, I might include that too with a short explanation

sweet, thanks!  my LSAC GPA is .02 higher than my UGPA (not a lot, but it still makes me happy...). haha

For law schools LSAC GPA< for jobs and anything else the GPA your schools transcripts says

i was reading Anna Ivey the other day, and she says use your UGPA.  dang it.  what should i do? O.o

[heartbreaker]

I used my UGPA, since it was listed in the education section next to my university. The other transcripts I submitted were summer college courses I took in high school - it seems pointless to consider those in the GPA I listed on my transcript.

I put my degree GPA on my resume.  I also put the individual GPA from a university where I spent a year at next to that school on the resume.

I used my degree GPA. 

If you list all the schools you attended on your resume, then you should use the LSAC GPA.  However, if you don't mention the courses/programs you were in that impacted the LSAC GPA, why should you use that GPA?

Degree GPA is the one to go with.

[blueskies6]

What was the reason she gave?

[rush the rushdie]

she says it looks bad if you round or inflate your GPA (eg, writing 3.7 when your UGPA is 3.68, etc).  i dont see why that necessarily rules out using the LSAC gpa..but whatevs.
