How to Use This Chart

For each school, the most useful numbers are:

  • Median LSAT: The score at which exactly half of admitted students fall above and half below. If your score is at median, you are a numerically competitive applicant.
  • 25th Percentile LSAT: The lower end of the admitted class. Applying below the 25th percentile means you are a statistical long shot at that school — possible with exceptional compensating factors, but not a realistic target.
  • 75th Percentile LSAT: The upper end. Scoring at or above the 75th percentile means you are above average for that school’s admitted class — and a scholarship candidate.

How to Use This Data in Your Application Strategy

A smart school list uses your LSAT score to identify three tiers:

  1. Reach schools: Your score is below the school’s median but above their 25th percentile — admission is possible with strong other factors
  2. Target schools: Your score is at or near the median — you are numerically competitive
  3. Scholarship schools: Your score is at or above the 75th percentile — you are a merit scholarship candidate

Use this chart to sort schools into each category. Build a list with 2–3 reaches, 3–4 targets, and 2–3 scholarship schools. Then use scholarship offers from the third tier as leverage when negotiating with your targets and reaches.

For a full breakdown of how scholarship strategy works, see the LSAT scholarship guide.
