You could get into any of the colleges that you mentioned above, your GPA is high and you were involved in a sport (and dedicated) and involved in clubs, something these universities look for. Another thing to keep in mind is that community service can also help on your application.

Good luck!

The LSAT is an imperfect measure of law school performance, but it’s the one measure that’s universal among all applicants and is more strongly correlated than any other tool we have. I’m sorry to say this, and I don’t mean to insult you, but your LSAT score is so low that most law schools, even the tier four law schools, will seriously wonder whether you could even pass the bar exam upon graduation. You will have difficulty getting into any school with your LSAT score. Be honest with yourself – how much work did you put into studying? Did you buy the PowerScore bibles? Did you take practice tests? Did you take a class? How long did you study before the LSAT? I know someone who took over 45 practice tests and dedicated three and a half months. You have to put in the effort. If you hardly studied at all, then sign up for the October LSAT and study for this test like it’s your freaking full-time job. The LSAT is the often the most important factor in law school admissions, followed by GPA, and right now your GPA and LSAT leave a lot to be desired. Finally, the schools you’re looking at offer terrible job prospects, plus they’re geographically sporadic. That tells me that you don’t know where you want to work and you’re just targeting low-ranked schools because you think you can get in. Law school is not like college. A JD isn’t a JD. The rank of the school matters and all the schools on your list are both terrible and regional, meaning your only chance at securing any type of job would be in the immediate vicinity of the school. So, only go to SIU if you want to live in that part of Illinois, for example.

Addition: A student can earn more than a 4.0 if the GPA is weighted with honors, AP, IB, dual enrollment, etc. classes. I’ve seen where the GPA is as high as a 4.9.

Other factors come into play for an admission decision. We need to know your test scores–SAT and/or ACT. With a 4.5, I’m assuming that you would have decent test scores…It sounds like you may have a chance to get into a few, if not all of these schools, but without more info, that would be a guess. Best of luck to you though!

A 4.5 is simply applying extra credit for advanced placement or Honors classes. But a lot of school don’t accept those extra GPA points. They look at the Grades. An “A” is an A a “B” is a B. They also look at Test scores, SAT/ACT. You never told us what your test scores were. You’ve got to be in the top percentage on those tests to even think about applying to one of those schools.

They look at the application essay and the community service records. As tight as schools are with new applications, even some of the best students don’t get accepted because there is simply not enough spaces for all those Freshmen applications. It takes much more than just good grades to get into a great university.

Look a the school’s acceptance rate. That’ll also tell you if you’ve got a good chance.

There is no formula to get you into college, no “x + y = ____?” Like I’ve said before, the best singers don’t get into Juliard, the best lawyers don’t get into Harvard, and sometimes the valedictorians don’t go to Brown or Yale. That said, however, I do think you have a good chance getting into these schools. A 4.5 GPA is certainly commendable, along with your extracurricular activies. Make sure you have a good applications essay and interview, and your SATs scores should be good, too.

Having a high GPA isn’t an automatic ticket anymore, sad to say. Colleges look at the clubs you were in and activities outside school. Still, a 4.5 is impressive.

Is A 4.5 Gpa Good

I have friends who have similar GPAs, and I would say you could get into everyone except for Princeton, and Johns Hopkins might let you in.

Are you sure it was a 4.5? I am fairly certain 4.0 is the highest, unless maybe you did a lot of extra credit and scored higher than 100 percent on everything?? If 4.5 if correct than you can get into any college you want!
