An LSAT and GPA admissions chart helps you understand how your two main numbers work together. The best use is not predicting certainty; it is identifying reach, target, and likely schools.
How to Read the Grid
Your LSAT and GPA should be compared against each school’s 25th, median, and 75th percentile numbers. Above both medians is a stronger profile than above one and below the other.
Four Applicant Profiles
| Profile | Meaning |
|---|---|
| High LSAT / high GPA | Strongest numerical profile |
| High LSAT / lower GPA | Splitter |
| Lower LSAT / high GPA | Reverse splitter |
| Below both medians | Reach profile |
