How to use these numbers

Both medians cleared: target. You are competitive, and merit-aid offers are most likely here.
One median cleared: reasonable reach or safety depending on which number and by how much.
Neither cleared: long shot unless something else in your file stands out.

Rules of thumb, not guarantees. Apply to a mix: targets where you clear both medians, a few reaches, and at least one school you would happily attend.

Common questions

Can I get into law school with a 3.20 GPA and a 146 LSAT?

Yes. With a 3.20 GPA and a 146 LSAT you sit at or above both published medians at 1 of the 196 ABA schools in our data set. Those are realistic targets. Apply broadly across them and add a few reaches where one of your numbers clears the median.

Is a 146 LSAT good with a 3.20 GPA?

A 146 sits below about the 37th percentile of recent LSAT scores. Your two numbers are balanced: your LSAT clears 3 school medians and your GPA clears 5. Balanced profiles give you the widest set of target schools. Compare both numbers to each target school’s medians rather than judging either one alone.

Should I retake the LSAT with a 3.20 GPA?

If your target schools’ LSAT medians sit above 146 and you have study time left, a retake is usually the highest-leverage move: the LSAT is the one number you can still change. Our retake guide for a 146 walks through it: /should-i-retake/146
