How it works

LSAC converts letter grades from all undergraduate coursework to its own scale (commonly approximated as 4.33 with A+). It then recomputes your GPA across all included attempts and institutions.

This tool approximates that process with a configurable 4.33 table, repeat handling, and inclusion/exclusion toggles. Your official CAS GPA may differ.

Formula: GPA = Σ(credits × converted_points) / Σ(included_credits). Rounded to 3 decimals for visibility.

Inputs explained

  • Term/Institution: optional (helps you group courses)
  • Credits: credit hours that count toward GPA
  • Grade: select from A+ through F and symbols like P/W/I/AU/CR/NC (adjust in Advanced if needed)
  • Include?: auto‑checked based on grade type; change it if needed
  • Advanced: edit the conversion table; choose presets; set repeat/withdraw/pass rules; import/export; reset to defaults

Example

Courses:

  • Fall: Chem I (4 cr, A) → 4.00 × 4 = 16.00
  • Calc I (4 cr, B+) → 3.33 × 4 = 13.32
  • Lit (3 cr, A−) → 3.67 × 3 = 11.01
  • PE (1 cr, P) → excluded (credits not in denominator)
  • Spring: Bio I (4 cr, A−) → 3.67 × 4 = 14.68
  • Hist (3 cr, W) → excluded
  • Econ (3 cr, F) → 0.00 × 3 = 0.00 (included)

Σ included credits = 18; Σ grade points = 55.01 → Estimated LSAC GPA ≈ 55.01 / 18 = 3.056 (display 3.056 and 3.06)

Tips & notes

  • LSAC typically includes repeated attempts and may treat “WF” as an F. Pass/withdraw/audit/incomplete are generally excluded, but details vary.
  • Your school’s “forgiveness” policies don’t change LSAC’s recalculation. Use “forgiveness mode” only to compare your institutional GPA vs LSAC‑style.
  • Keep good records: import your transcript CSV or paste rows, then export/share for planning.

FAQs

It’s an approximation. LSAC applies its own official conversion tables and inclusion rules across all undergraduate work. Expect differences.

LSAC typically includes all attempts. This tool defaults to counting repeats; you can change it in Advanced for “institutional GPA” what‑ifs.

We default to excluding them from GPA and denominator. You can adjust in Advanced. LSAC guidance varies by symbol—official CAS rules govern.

Yes. Edit the conversion table in Advanced and reset to preset anytime.

No. Everything runs in your browser. Use Export or Share Link to keep your entries.

No. This is an independent, educational tool. Always rely on your official CAS report.
