3.50 GPA and 154 LSAT: Where Do I Get In?
Admissions offices read your GPA and LSAT as a pair, so here they are together. With a 3.50 GPA and a 154 LSAT (which sits between about the 37th and 54th percentile), you clear both published medians at 40 of the 196 ABA schools in our data.
Your profile type
Your two numbers are balanced: your LSAT clears 49 school medians and your GPA clears 50. Balanced profiles give you the widest set of target schools.

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 3.50 GPA and a 154 LSAT?
Yes. With a 3.50 GPA and a 154 LSAT you sit at or above both published medians at 40 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 154 LSAT good with a 3.50 GPA?
A 154 sits between about the 37th and 54th percentile of recent LSAT scores. Your two numbers are balanced: your LSAT clears 49 school medians and your GPA clears 50. 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 3.50 GPA?
If your target schools’ LSAT medians sit above 154 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 154 walks through it: /should-i-retake/154
