4.00 GPA and 155 LSAT: Where Do I Get In?
Admissions offices read your GPA and LSAT as a pair, so here they are together. With a 4.00 GPA and a 155 LSAT (which sits about the 54th percentile), you clear both published medians at 65 of the 196 ABA schools in our data.
Your profile type
Your GPA is doing the heavy lifting here: it clears 196 school medians while your LSAT clears 65. 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 4.00 GPA and a 155 LSAT?
Yes. With a 4.00 GPA and a 155 LSAT you sit at or above both published medians at 65 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 155 LSAT good with a 4.00 GPA?
A 155 sits about the 54th percentile of recent LSAT scores. Your GPA is doing the heavy lifting here: it clears 196 school medians while your LSAT clears 65. 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 4.00 GPA?
If your target schools’ LSAT medians sit above 155 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 155 walks through it: /should-i-retake/155
