resume gpa when LSAC gpa is better
LSAC boosted my gpa because of A+ grades so the gpa they calculated is better than the one on my transcript, although only by a small amount. That has left me confused about which one I should put on the law school resume I’m using for apps. Would I say “LSAC gpa” and list the higher gpa for them or just put the actual undergrad gpa ?!

Don't put your GPA on your resume at all. They'll see it in the rest of your application materials, so no need to use up resume space with it.
Yep, OP Id highly recommend watching Dean Z application review she talks about this every time someone includes their GPA on their resume.
Okay but HLS says to include it??
No they don’t, the examples on their site do have it so you can include it for them if you want but they don’t specifically ask for it. Other schools (like Michigan) explicitly prefer that it isn’t included in the resume.
So what’s the update on this?
All of their online examples include it, hence them showing that you should include it.
