How to Build Your School List
- Pick 2 to 4 reach schools, 3 to 5 targets and 2 to 3 scholarship schools.
- Check your GPA against each school’s median. If it is lower, you may need a higher LSAT to stay competitive.
- Think about where you want to work. Many schools place most graduates close to home.
- Compare debt and job results, not just rank. Each school’s ABA disclosures show them.
