When you submit your transcripts through CAS, LSAC doesn&#8217;t just forward them. It recalculates your GPA using its own standardized methodology, and that number becomes your official GPA for law school admissions.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s why it matters: <strong>every law school uses your CAS GPA, not your transcript GPA.<\/strong> It&#8217;s what gets reported to the ABA for median GPA rankings, and it&#8217;s what appears in your admissions file. Law schools have no choice but to use it \u2014 it&#8217;s built into the CAS process.<\/p>\n<p>As of 2026, LSAC continues to calculate CAS GPA on a <strong>4.33 scale<\/strong>, where A+ = 4.33. For most students, the CAS GPA ends up lower than their transcript GPA \u2014 because LSAC counts grades their school forgave, includes community college courses, and doesn&#8217;t honor grade replacement. For a few students, especially those at schools that award A+ grades, CAS GPA can actually be <em>higher<\/em> than 4.0.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"grade-conversion-chart\" style=\"color: #4D2079;\">LSAC Grade Conversion Chart<\/h2>\n<p>LSAC converts all letter grades to a numeric scale.

Jamie earned A+ in four courses over four years (4 credits each, 4 courses = 16 credits). On the transcript, those A+ grades count as 4.0 \u2014 the same as a regular A. In LSAC&#8217;s calculation, they count as 4.33.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\">\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; margin: 1em 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #4D2079; color: white;\">\n<th style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Course<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Credits<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Transcript<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">LSAC<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">A+ courses (\u00d74)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">16 total<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">4.00 each<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">4.33 each<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\">\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">Grade points (A+ courses)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">\u2014<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">64.00<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\">69.28<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Those 16 credits contribute 5.28 extra grade points in CAS compared to the transcript.

If Alex also retook a couple of B- courses, the gap widens further.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Takeaway:<\/strong> Every retake leaves a mark in CAS. Academic forgiveness, grade replacement, and repeat policies at your institution have zero effect on your LSAC GPA.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">Scenario 3: Transfer + Pass\/Fail<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Transcript GPA: 3.52 | CAS GPA: 3.31<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Morgan attended community college for two years before transferring to a four-year university. The CC grades (a mix of A&#8217;s and C&#8217;s, 60 credits) were not counted toward the four-year university&#8217;s GPA. Morgan also took 20 credits of pass\/fail coursework in subjects where they were confident they&#8217;d do well.<\/p>\n<p>In LSAC&#8217;s calculation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The CC credits are <strong>included<\/strong> \u2014 all 60 of them, with whatever grades Morgan earned<\/li>\n<li>The P\/F credits are <strong>excluded<\/strong> \u2014 reducing the graded credit pool<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The result: LSAC calculates GPA over 100 graded credits (60 CC + 60 four-year = 120 total, minus 20 P\/F excluded = 100 graded). The C grades from CC, diluted across a smaller credit pool than Morgan expected, pull the CAS GPA down noticeably.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Takeaway:<\/strong> Every institution you attended matters.

Law schools expect and accept these.<\/p>\n<p>Good reasons to write one:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your CAS GPA is significantly lower than your transcript GPA due to retakes or transfer credits (explain the mechanics briefly)<\/li>\n<li>An early, difficult semester dragged your GPA down, but your grades have been consistently strong since<\/li>\n<li>An external circumstance (illness, family situation, financial hardship) affected a particular period<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What to avoid: excuses that don&#8217;t explain anything, over-explaining minor dips, or anything that sounds defensive. Keep it factual and forward-looking.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">Focus on Your LSAT Score<\/h3>\n<p>Your GPA is fixed at this point. Your <strong>LSAT score is not<\/strong>. Law schools weigh both heavily \u2014 and a strong LSAT can offset a below-median GPA at many schools.<\/p>\n<p>This is called the <strong>splitter strategy<\/strong>: applying with a GPA below a school&#8217;s median but an LSAT above it. It works because LSAC&#8217;s 509 data shows admitted students across a range of GPA\/LSAT combinations, and many schools deliberately admit strong splitters to raise their median LSAT scores.<\/p>\n<p>For more on the LSAT and what scores correspond to which schools, see:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/lsat\/lsat-scores-top-100-law-schools\/\">LSAT Scores for the Top 100 Law Schools<\/a> \u2014 median LSAT and GPA data by school<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/lsat\/how-does-lsat-scoring-work\/\">How LSAT Scoring Works<\/a> \u2014 score scale, percentiles, and what a good score looks like<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/lsat\/lsat-percentile\/\">LSAT Percentiles<\/a> \u2014 where your score ranks nationally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your CAS GPA is lower than you&#8217;d like, the most actionable step is to maximize your LSAT score. <a href=\"https:\/\/lsat.magoosh.com\">Magoosh LSAT prep<\/a> includes official LSAC-licensed practice questions and video explanations from top-scoring tutors.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"border-left: 4px solid #4d2079; background: #F9FAFB; padding: 1em 1.2em; margin: 1em 0; border-radius: 6px; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);\">\n<p><strong>Pro tip:<\/strong> Not sure where your LSAT score stands?

If your CAS GPA falls between a school&#8217;s 25th and 75th percentile, you&#8217;re in a competitive range. If it&#8217;s below the 25th percentile, you&#8217;re applying as a statistical outlier \u2014 not impossible, but you&#8217;ll need other strengths to compensate.<\/p>\n<p>Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/lsat\/lsat-scores-top-100-law-schools\/\">LSAT Scores for Top 100 Law Schools<\/a> data to identify schools where your GPA and LSAT combination is competitive. Building a list with realistic reach, match, and safety schools matters more when your GPA is below median.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"faq\" style=\"color: #4D2079;\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">Does LSAC count retaken courses?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 LSAC counts <strong>both attempts<\/strong>. If you received a D in a course freshman year and retook it for an A senior year, both the D and the A appear in your CAS GPA calculation, with full credit hours for each attempt. Your school&#8217;s grade replacement or academic forgiveness policy has no effect on how LSAC calculates your GPA.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">Do law schools use LSAC GPA or transcript GPA?<\/h3>\n<p>Law schools use your <strong>LSAC CAS GPA<\/strong>, not your transcript GPA. It&#8217;s the standard number used across all applications processed through CAS, and it&#8217;s the figure schools report to the ABA for median GPA rankings. Admissions offices cannot access or use a different GPA.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">Does pass\/fail affect my LSAC GPA?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Passing grades (P, CR, S) are excluded<\/strong> from the GPA calculation \u2014 those credits appear separately as &#8220;unconverted credits&#8221; in your CAS report but don&#8217;t affect your GPA numerically. <strong>Failing grades on pass\/fail courses (F, NC, U) do count<\/strong> as 0.00 and are included in the calculation. Note that heavy use of P\/F courses reduces your total graded credit pool, which can affect how much individual grades move your GPA.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">Do withdrawals affect my LSAC GPA?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on how your institution classifies the withdrawal. <strong>Non-punitive withdrawals (W, WP)<\/strong> are excluded and don&#8217;t affect your GPA. <strong>Punitive withdrawals (WF, WU, WNP)<\/strong> \u2014 those that indicate you withdrew while failing \u2014 count as <strong>0.00<\/strong> and are included in the calculation. Check your transcript carefully: a simple &#8220;W&#8221; is typically non-punitive, but any withdrawal notation that includes &#8220;F&#8221; almost certainly is punitive.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unsure how your school classifies a particular withdrawal, ask your registrar. They can help you interpret your transcript so you have an accurate GPA estimate before applying.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">Does graduate school count toward my LSAC GPA?<\/h3>\n<p>No. LSAC only includes coursework completed <strong>before your first bachelor&#8217;s degree was conferred<\/strong>. Graduate coursework, professional school coursework, post-baccalaureate courses, and second bachelor&#8217;s degree coursework are all excluded \u2014 regardless of how strong your grades were.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">What about community college classes?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, they count. LSAC includes coursework from <strong>all undergraduate institutions you attended<\/strong> before your bachelor&#8217;s degree, not just your degree-granting institution. That means community college courses, dual enrollment courses taken in high school, and any institution you transferred from are all included \u2014 even if those credits never transferred to your main school or weren&#8217;t counted in that school&#8217;s GPA calculation.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">Can my CAS GPA be higher than my transcript GPA?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 if your school awards <strong>A+ grades<\/strong>. LSAC converts A+ to <strong>4.33<\/strong>, while most schools either don&#8217;t award A+ or cap the GPA scale at 4.0. If you earned multiple A+ grades at a school that doesn&#8217;t reward them numerically, your CAS GPA can exceed 4.0 and be higher than your transcript GPA.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">What is a good CAS GPA for law school?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on your target schools. Based on 2025 ABA 509 data, the median GPA at T14 schools ranges from roughly <strong>3.88 to 3.96<\/strong>. Across all ABA-accredited schools, the median CAS GPA is around <strong>3.65<\/strong>. For competitive regional schools, 3.4\u20133.6 is often in range.<\/p>\n<p>The most useful thing to do is compare your GPA to the 25th\u201375th percentile range at specific schools you&#8217;re considering. See <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/lsat\/lsat-scores-top-100-law-schools\/\">LSAT Scores for the Top 100 Law Schools<\/a> for school-by-school data. If your GPA is below median at your target schools, <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/lsat\/lsat-percentile\/\">focus on maximizing your LSAT percentile<\/a> \u2014 that&#8217;s where you have the most room to improve your application.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">How do quarter credits convert to semester credits?<\/h3>\n<p>Multiply quarter credits by <strong>0.67<\/strong> to get the semester equivalent. For example, a 4-quarter-credit course = 2.67 semester credits. LSAC applies this conversion automatically when it processes transcripts from quarter-system schools (common in the UC system and other universities). You don&#8217;t need to do this manually when submitting \u2014 but it&#8217;s helpful to know when estimating your CAS GPA.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #C5168C;\">What if I have fewer than 60 graded semester credits?<\/h3>\n<p>If you have fewer than <strong>60 graded semester credits<\/strong>, LSAC will not generate a numeric CAS GPA. Instead, your CAS report will include a qualitative description of your academic record. This can happen if you transferred after two years with heavily pass\/fail coursework, or if you have significant excluded international credits. If you&#8217;re in this situation, contact LSAC directly to understand what your report will show before submitting applications.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Updated March 2026.
