Your law school's grading scale as last reported to the National Association of Law Placement (NALP) is listed here
for context only. Grading information for non-NALP member schools may have been taken from the law school's
Internet postings. If the school posts a grading scale and/or percentile cutoffs, there may be minor differences
between the listed scores and your actual standing due to the timing of the report and variance between class years.
DOJ reviewers are advised to defer to the class rank or percentile rankings entered by the applicant, when available,
as they are generally more accurate. If you believe the grading scale information is grossly inaccurate, you attended
more than one law school, or your school's official grading system is not present, please enter any necessary
explanation on the Additional Information screen.
