Your profile type

Your GPA is doing the heavy lifting here: it clears 27 school medians while your LSAT clears 2. That is a reverse-splitter profile. A few more LSAT points would move the needle most.

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 3.40 GPA and a 145 LSAT?

Yes. With a 3.40 GPA and a 145 LSAT you sit at or above both published medians at 2 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 145 LSAT good with a 3.40 GPA?

A 145 sits below about the 37th percentile of recent LSAT scores. Your GPA is doing the heavy lifting here: it clears 27 school medians while your LSAT clears 2. That is a reverse-splitter profile. A few more LSAT points would move the needle most. Compare both numbers to each target school’s medians rather than judging either one alone.

Should I retake the LSAT with a 3.40 GPA?

If your target schools’ LSAT medians sit above 145 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 145 walks through it: /should-i-retake/145
