Has anyone been overlooked for a degree

[jsd]

Speaking of law school, you definitely need graded credits to satisfy LSAC’s requirements for any ranked school.

Is there a link that you could give me that goes into more details about this? I tried a quick Google search without much luck.

All ABA law schools go through LSAC for their applications (transcript submissions, LSAT scores, etc). Here is LSAC’s GPA recalculation politicy:

If you have under 60 grades credits, they don’t calculate a GPA for the law schools you’re applying to.

To clarify what I said above, it’s not REQUIRED that you have a GPA to apply to law school, each one has their own admissions requirements. But the highly ranked law schools use GPA and LSAT scores as their two primary criteria. Without a GPA, you’d better have a perfect LSAT. And even then it’d be an uphil battle at the top schools.

And in the field of law, degree pedigree still actually matters.
