Re: LSAT requirements scores
The LSAT is an integral part of the law school admission process in the United States, Canada, and a growing number of other countries. It provides a standard measure of acquired reading and verbal reasoning skills that law schools can use as one of several factors in assessing applicants. LSAT Score The LSAT is scored on a scale of 120-180. The average score is about 150, but if you’re looking to get into one of the top 25 law schools, your score should be well over 160. There are about 101 questions in each test and each question answered correctly accounts for one point of your raw score. This raw score (0 – 101) is converted into a score ranging from 120 (the minimum) to 180 (the maximum) Score Calculating Formula Each school has a different policy for weighing GPA and LSAT scores. For example, a school might use (LSAT score -120) + (GPA x 20) as an index to evaluate each candidate. So, if you have an LSAT score of 160 and a GPA of 3.5, your index would be: (160 – 120) + (3.5 × 20) = 110 LSAT Score Requirements of the Top Law Universities School (name) (state) Median LSAT score for full-time students entering in fall 2016 Yale University (CT) 173 Harvard University (MA) 172 Columbia University (NY) 172 Stanford University (CA) 171 University of Chicago 170 New York University 169 University of Pennsylvania 169 University of Virginia 169 Duke University (NC) 169 University of Michigan—Ann Arbor 168 Northwestern University (Pritzker) (IL) 168 Washington University in St. Louis 168 |
