Law school GPA calculator.
Add your courses and grades to get your GPA on the 4.0 scale. Then check it against the schools on your list with our admissions estimator.

This estimates a standard 4.0-scale GPA. LSAC recalculates your official GPA from all undergraduate transcripts using its own conversion (for example, counting A+ as 4.33 at some schools), so your reported number may differ slightly.
What your GPA means for admissions
Law schools weigh your GPA alongside your LSAT, and the two together drive most admissions decisions. A higher LSAT can offset a lower GPA, which is exactly why your test score is the most improvable part of your file. Once you have your number, see which schools are a reach, target, or likely, and read what counts as a good LSAT score.
Medians vary widely by school: the T14 cluster near 3.8 to 3.95, while strong regional programs often admit in the 3.4 to 3.7 range. Use our school-by-school guides to see where you stand.
Quick answers
How is GPA calculated?
Each grade maps to a point value (A is 4.0, B is 3.0, and so on), multiplied by the course credit hours. Your GPA is total grade points divided by total credits.
Will law schools use this exact GPA?
Close, but not exactly. LSAC recalculates your GPA from all undergraduate transcripts using its own standardized conversion. Use this as a strong estimate, then plug it into our admissions estimator.
What GPA do law schools want?
It varies. T14 medians sit near 3.8 to 3.95, while strong regional schools often admit in the 3.4 to 3.7 range. A high LSAT can offset a lower GPA.
