Depends on just how reverse splitter you are. (assuming no URM / amazing softs). If you are above the 75th GPA and between the 25th and median LSAT, then you have a very realistic shot at admission. If you are 5 points below the 25th percentile LSAT and you have a perfect 4.00, then no, you are not getting in.

Generally speaking, if your LSAT is below median for a school but still in the general range for that school, then a high GPA can help you. If your LSAT is not even close to most of the other students, then no GPA can make up for that.
