Calculation Formula

Probability = (0.6 * GPA) + (0.3 * (LSAT Score - 165)) - (0.05 * School Rank) + (0.01 * Year Factor)

Where:
GPA: Your Grade Point Average
LSAT Score: Your Law School Admission Test score
School Rank: Rank of the law school you're applying to (1 being the top law school)
Year Factor: A factor based on application year (2020=0, 2021=1, ..., 2030=10)

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter your GPA (Grade Point Average) on a scale of 0.0 to 4.0.
  2. Enter your LSAT (Law School Admission Test) score, which typically ranges from 160 to 180.
  3. Specify the rank of the law school you are applying to, where 1 represents the top law school and 200 represents the lowest-ranked law school.
  4. Enter the application year (e.g., 2023).
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated probability of admission.

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your admission probability:

Probability = (0.6 * GPA) + (0.3 * (LSAT Score - 165)) - (0.05 * School Rank) + (0.01 * Year Factor)

This formula weighs your GPA heavily (60%), your LSAT score (30%), the rank of the law school (20%), and the application year (10%). The LSAT is adjusted by subtracting 165 to normalize the score (as the average LSAT score is 165).

Limitations

This calculator provides an estimated probability based on statistical data and does not account for other factors such as personal statements, letters of recommendation, work experience, or diversity factors. It should be used as a guide rather than a definitive prediction of admission.
