TRANSCRIPT
Your law school’s grading scale as last reported to the National Association for Law Placement (NALP) is
listed here for context only. Information for non-NALP schools may have been taken from the law
school’s internet postings. There may be differences between the information posted here and your
actual standing due to the timing of the NALP report and variances between class years. DOJ reviewers
defer to the class rank or percentile rankings entered by the applicant, when available, as they are
generally more current. Applicants may clarify this information on the “Additional Information” screen at
their discretion.
