Formula & Mathematical Methodology: LSAT & UGPA Law Admission Index Formula

LSATPct = (LSAT − 120) / 60
GPAPct = UGPA / 4.00
CompositeIndex = (0.60 × LSATPct + 0.40 × GPAPct) × 100
LSAT_Pct = (LSAT − 120) / 60; GPA_Pct = UGPA / 4.00; CompositeIndex = (0.60 × LSAT_Pct + 0.40 × GPA_Pct) × 100
  • applicantLsatScore: Official highest reportable LSAT score (120 to 180 scale).
  • applicantCasUgpa: LSAC Credential Assembly Service (CAS) cumulative undergraduate GPA (0.00 to 4.33).
  • targetSchoolMedianLsat: Target law school 50th-percentile median LSAT.

Rounding: Internal floating-point calculations run in 64-bit IEEE-754 double precision; display values round to 2–4 decimal places.

Worked Example: LSAT & UGPA Law Admission Index Worked Example

Evaluate LSAT (120–180) and CAS UGPA against target law school 50th/75th percentile medians.

  1. Enter the input measurement, system configuration, or astronomical parameter.
  2. Apply the standard conversion or analytical equation: LSAT_Pct = (LSAT − 120) / 60; GPA_Pct = UGPA / 4.00; CompositeIndex = (0.60 × LSAT_Pct + 0.40 × GPA_Pct) × 100.
  3. Inspect the primary metric, secondary equivalents, and 3 real-time SVG graphs.
Result: Computes LSAT & UGPA Law Admission Index via LSAT_Pct = (LSAT − 120) / 60; GPA_Pct = UGPA / 4.00; CompositeIndex = (0.60 × LSAT_Pct + 0.40 × GPA_Pct) × 100.

Frequently Asked Questions

Law School LSAT & Cas UGPA Admission Index & Merit Scholarship Tier Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result

Evaluate LSAT (120–180) and CAS UGPA against target law school 50th/75th percentile medians.

Choose inputs for the case you are checking

The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.

  • Applicant Lsat Score: Official highest reportable LSAT score (120 to 180 scale).
  • Applicant Cas Ugpa: LSAC Credential Assembly Service (CAS) cumulative undergraduate GPA (0.00 to 4.33).
  • Target School Median Lsat: Target law school 50th-percentile median LSAT.
  • Target School Median Ugpa: Target law school 50th-percentile median UGPA.

What the calculation includes

With the default values shown, Law School Admission Composite Index is 86.2 / 100 (Above Both Medians (Strong Merit Scholarship Candidate)). The calculation follows LSAT & UGPA Law Admission Index Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.

One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Applicant Lsat Score from 168 LSAT to 185 LSAT changes Law School Admission Composite Index from 86.2 / 100 (Above Both Medians (Strong Merit Scholarship Candidate)) to 98.2 / 100 (Above Both Medians (Strong Merit Scholarship Candidate)). This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.

Where to use caution

  • Uses official NIST Special Publication 811, IEEE/RFC systems engineering, APA psychometric, and USNO astronomical formulas.
  • Empirical metallurgy and calendar conversions represent standard reference-condition approximations.

Scope: Global NIST, IEEE, APA & Astronomical Standard Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
