- Enter your LSAT score (120–180) in the second field. Use whole numbers only, e.g., 160.
- Set your Soft Factors (0–10) using the slider or input. This accounts for extracurriculars, work experience, etc. Default is 5.
- Click “Calculate Chance” to see your estimated admission probability.
- Review the results:
- Your percentage chance is displayed prominently.
- A category (Low, Fair, Good, Excellent) and a progress bar show the likelihood visually.

Frequently Asked Questions
The chance is calculated using a weighted formula: GPA contributes up to 40%, LSAT score up to 40%, and soft factors up to 20%. This is a simplified model and not a guarantee.
Soft factors include extracurricular activities, work experience, personal statements, letters of recommendation, and other qualitative aspects. Rate them from 0 (none) to 10 (outstanding).
This calculator provides a rough estimate based on common admission criteria. Actual admissions decisions depend on many additional factors, including the specific law school's selectivity and applicant pool.
