Quick answer: a school’s 75th percentile LSAT is the score that 75% of its students fall at or below. Only a quarter scored higher. Harvard’s 75th percentile is 176 and Columbia’s is 175. Scoring at or above it is a major strength, and it is where scholarship money is most likely.

Percentiles come from LSAC data for the 2023 to 2026 testing years. School numbers come from the 2025 ABA 509 disclosures, shown on each school’s page. Raw score numbers are our estimate for a typical test, built from published charts. They are not official, and each real test has its own chart. See LSAC on LSAT scoring.
