LSAT Hide SNN Field For Free

Your chances of admission are high if you score above 144 on the LSAT and have a GPA above 3.00, though. Another reason to consider attending this school is it's cheap.

Now, some law schools commit outright to considering an applicant's highest score only, while others claim to look at all scores. Effectively, however, law schools take your highest score no matter how many times you take the test.

Summary: As law schools strive to become more diverse, they are also dropping the LSAT. Not long ago, only those of privilege were seemingly allowed into the law school institution.

The downside of retaking is largely gone as well! Even if you do worse on a retake, law schools still have the ability and the incentive just to consider your higher score. That said, law schools generally don't view a 1 or 2 point score bump as a significant improvement.

LSAT Percentiles Your score's percentile rank is the percent of people who score lower than you. Because a 152 is the median LSAT score, it would give you a percentile ranking of approximately 50. It's common to talk in terms of LSAT score, but law schools also look at your score percentile.

Northwestern University Northwestern University's Prizker School of Law is another prominent school that made the decision to accept students without the LSAT. They made their announcement in 2017, almost exactly at the same time as Georgetown Law.

Law schools do read files holistically and they do read/see every LSAT score/withdrawal/cancellation of each applicant. However, no matter what anyone says, the reality is that the only score the ABA receives is the highest score and is therefore the only score USWNR will ever see.
