A school's 25th percentile LSAT is the score a quarter of its students fall at or below. See numbers for top schools and what it means for you.
Quick answer: a school’s 25th percentile LSAT is the score that a quarter of its students fall at or below. So 75% of its students scored at or above it. Harvard’s 25th percentile is 171 and Georgetown’s is 166. It is not a cut off, but scoring below it makes admission harder.
You can still get in, because a quarter of students are at or below that number. But those students often have a high GPA or something special in their application. Schools also report this number publicly, so it matters to them. Across all 196 ABA schools, 25th percentile scores run from 136 to 171.
Is This the Same as the 25th Percentile of Test Takers?
No. A 25th percentile score among all test takers is about a 147. A school’s 25th percentile only describes its own students. See the LSAT percentile chart.

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.
