How OLSAS Calculates GPA

OLSAS converts all your undergraduate marks to a standard 4.0 scale using the OUAC grade conversion table. However, law schools look at your grades differently than other professional programs.

📊

CGPA vs B2/L2

While Cumulative GPA (CGPA) includes all courses, many Ontario law schools focus heavily on your Best 2 Years (B2) or Last 2 Years (L2) of full-time study.

🔁

Repeated Courses

OLSAS records both attempts. However, most law schools (like Osgoode) will either only take the highest grade or average the two attempts.

⚖️

Holistic Review

Law admissions rely heavily on the LSAT, your personal statement, and reference letters, not just your OLSAS GPA. A high LSAT can offset a lower GPA.

Frequently Asked Questions

OLSAS calculates your GPA by taking every undergraduate grade on your transcript and converting it to their standardized 4.0 scale using the official OLSAS Conversion Table. They then provide law schools with your Cumulative GPA (CGPA) and specific sub-GPAs like Best 2 Years (B2) or Last 2 Years (L2).
A competitive OLSAS GPA for Ontario law schools is generally around a 3.70 (A- average). Top-tier schools like UofT Law require closer to a 3.88 on their 'Best 3 Years' calculation, while schools with holistic admissions like Windsor accept lower GPAs if you have an exceptional LSAT score.
OLSAS calculates both, but the law schools themselves decide which one to prioritize. For example, Western and Queen's heavily weight your Last 2 (L2) or Best 2 (B2) years, whereas Osgoode looks at your entire Cumulative GPA but places special emphasis on upward trends.
OLSAS itself does not drop any marks; they report every grade to the law schools. However, specific law schools may drop marks. For instance, UofT Law looks at your Best 3 Years, effectively 'dropping' your worst academic year from consideration.
OLSAS includes both attempts of a repeated course on your master application. However, most Ontario law schools will either mathematically average the two grades together or only consider the highest grade when evaluating your file.
