Hi I am also a little curious, how much importance do top US law schools give to LSAC grading. I got a superior grading, around three years of work ex in arguably the best law firm in my country, quite a few extra curricular and co curricular work, editor of law review, publications, moot courts. Would appreciate if someone who has already gone through the application process throws light on my chances of securing a place in a top american law school.
@Raphael really strange with such a good academic record they have given you above average. You are clearly in the top 5%.

You think? Hmm, You know that's odd cause a girl I know, who is 2nd in my year has an 'above avg' quotation too... LSAC are quite superficial I say

If I were you, I would request a re-evaluation from LSAC and I would submit to them that you should have received superior and not above average for the reasons you are stating in your message (with supporting document of course), I just filed a request for re-assessment with LSAC -I graduated within top 10% of my class and I just received above-average which is unacceptable to me. I am looking for their response. All the best to all of you.

I completed a few degrees "top 10%" or "top 15%" and was rated "Above average". My last degree was rated "Superior" but I ranked 1st of my class...

From my experience, I'd say that you need to be ranked 1st or at least top 2% to be rated "Superior". Plus, LSAC is not going to reevaluate anything: they don't know much.

Anyways, as you may notice, "Above average" covers a very large spectrum: very strong applicants to decent ones. For instance, RaphaelF you have a very strong background and could be accepted to the best law schools... "Above average" won't be a problem at all.

Quick question:

once my status goes to Evaluation Complete does LSAC release the reports automatically or do I need to request that they release them? (The universities already requested release while evaluation was pending.)

Is it surprising? Honnestly, I don't know much about the british system... 59% is like 12/20 (French system) and I received an above average for a (business) degree completed with a 18.4/20 (92% English system I guess).

It is not surprising given that according to University statistics 12% of 1500 candidates appearing for the exams score an average of 60 or more marks. Due to this I think so the analysis might be fair.

Hi guys, some colleagues posted that, if a certain grading system (such as the Brazilian and French ones) does not rank the students, LSAC cannot evaluate the student as "superior". Have any of you heard anything about that?

I don't know if I agree with this. I was ranked as 'superior' for my Arts degree and I didn't provide LSAC with a class rank (as my university doesn't rank its Arts faculty students).

This shows how LSAC's evaluation can be nonsense: I had 86% and was classified as above average... I'm just not relying on LSAC's evaluation anymore. I hope American universities know how to evaluate students coming from different countries (and hopefully from different universities in the same country).
