The Law School Data Assembly
Service assembles data derived from candidates' transcripts
and LSATs. The LSDAS places grades from institutions with
varying grade point systems on the same scale to allow the
law schools to evaluate all students on a more or less equivalent
basis. The Service combines information from all transcripts
you send, so credits that may not be computed in your current
undergraduate GPA will be calculated in the LSDAS report
of your GPA. LSAT scores earned in the last five years will
be reported, as well as the averages of those reported.
At the request of a law school the LSDAS analysis may also
include an index score derived from the GPA, the LSAT score(s),
and the undergraduate school(s) attended.
Almost all ABA accredited
law schools require you to register with LSDAS using the
application forms in the Information Book, and to send in
official transcripts from any colleges or universities you
have attended, including graduate schools (excepting graduates
of foreign post-secondary schools). You are responsible
for sending transcripts to LSDAS using the Transcript Request
Forms in the back of the Registration and Information Book.
You get one law school report
with your LSDAS subscription. If you plan to apply to more
than one law school, you need to estimate the number, and
pay for that number of reports when you register with LSDAS.
You do not need to tell LSDAS where you expect to apply.
The law schools to which you apply will obtain a copy of
your report directly from the LSDAS. This process eliminates
the problem of law schools receiving your report and establishing
a file even if you decide later not to apply there. To apply
to more schools than you originally estimated, you must
submit an "Additional LSDAS Law School Report Order
Form" from the Book. Fee waivers do not apply to the
additional reports.
