Law school list builder
Enter your GPA and LSAT score. The tool sorts 196 ABA-accredited law schools into three rough buckets: reach, target, and safety. The buckets are rules of thumb, not admissions predictions.
How these buckets work
- Reach: the school's LSAT median is 2 to 5 points above your score. You are below the middle of last year's class, so these are stretch picks.
- Target: the school's LSAT median is within 1 point of your score. You are in line with last year's class.
- Safety: your LSAT and GPA are both at or above the school's medians.
These are rough rules of thumb. Admissions is not a median-matching exercise. Schools weigh GPA trends, personal statements, work experience, and more. A school whose medians sit below your numbers is not a guarantee, and a school whose medians sit above them is not impossible.
What the medians mean
Each school's LSAT and GPA medians describe the middle of its Fall 2025 entering class. If a school's LSAT median is 160, half of last year's class scored above 160 and half scored below it. Medians move year to year, and they say nothing about scholarship money.

A few points on the LSAT can move several schools from reach to target. Take a free diagnostic to see where you stand and what to fix first.
