Cumulative GPA
LSAC GPA calculator tools are essential for every law school applicant because the GPA listed on your university transcript is rarely the exact number admissions committees review. The Law School Admission Council (LSAC) uses the Credential Assembly Service (CAS) to standardize grades from every institution into a uniform metric, often recalculating your academic performance on a unique 4.33 scale.
Use our free tool above to estimate your GPA report according to these specific LSAC guidelines, ensuring you know where you stand before applying.
Info
LSAC recalculates all undergraduate grades using a universal 4.33 scale.
How Does It Work?
The CAS process is used to standardizes your academic history to ensure all law school applicants are evaluated on a same level.
1. Input Your Course Details
The calculator accepts your credit hours and letter gradings from all undergraduate
institutions you have attended. LSAC combines them into one cumulative GPA.
2. Converting Your Grades
Grades are converted into the LSAC 4.33 scale. An A+ is valued at
4.33, and descriptive grades are translated into numeric values.
3. Applying the GPA Formula
Quality Points are calculated by multiplying grade values by credit hours. Total
Quality Points are divided by total attempted credits to determine your CAS GPA.

- Repeated Courses: LSAC includes all attempts, even failed ones.
- Punitive Withdrawals: WF grades are counted as 0.0.
Tip
Your LSAC GPA can be higher or lower than your transcript GPA depending on retakes and A+ grades.
