请问gpa对于申请jd的重要性

cfa

如果gpa比较差 lsat 考的很好，加上不错的工作和实习经历有可能申请到好一些学校吗

一般来讲GPA和LSAT是两个互补的参数，但不同学校各有不同程度的重视程度。不过LSAT考得好绝对是个有利的因素

Depends. If your GPA>3.1, and you have a good LSAT (>160), you can still get into good schools.

那如果gpa低于3.1，是否需要在国内读个研究生，获取较高gpa来弥补呢？

.

Graduate GPA cannot replace a low undergraduate GPA, because most schools have a LSAT/Undergrad GPA index. However, it may help as an additional factor.

我以前听到一个说法，说把GPA和LSAT成绩混合进入一个指数公式进行互补计算的做法主要是适用于本国人或在本国读本科的外国人和其他英联邦国家的申请人。对于来自中国大陆的申请人，基本上都被归入没有GPA的一类。（是因为对中国人的成绩单信不过？还是记分体系不同导致参考意义不大？）。这样一来，对于中国大陆申请人而言，LSAT就是唯一的衡量标准了。

不知这个说法是否属实？

我也听到类似的说法, 不过美国人到底怎么看我们的GPA我仍旧不清楚.不过有一点是肯定的, 他们知道我们的GPA和美国学生的没有可比性.有些学校, 比如BOSTON UNIVERSITY网上提供的数据就有NO GPA这一类申请人, 但大多数学校不提这个

for most international students, GPA is NOT an important factor as for domestic students.

the reason is it's impossible for comparing the validity to domestic college.

for US applicants, even you have the same GPA as other applicant, it
still will make big difference. A gpa 3.8 from MIT is aheaded of a
gpa3.8 from Univ of Arkansas by miles.

but they cann't value the gpa from international college. How good is this school ? same level as Univ.of Arkansas or MIT?



so advice for internation applicants, provide the rank of your GPA as
well as the original GPA. It will provide some additional infos.

以下是引用jeremyang在2005-10-9 7:50:00的发言：

In other words, if you consider GPA as a disadvantage, provide as little infomation as possible.
