LSAT Score and GPA Ranges of 2007 J.D. Applicants
The first figure in each cell represents the number of admission offers made, and the number after the slash represents the total number of applications reviewed. For example, 38/108 in the second row, fifth column, indicates that of the 108 people who applied with a GPA between 3.50 and 3.74 and an LSAT score between 163-165, 38 were offered admission. This data represents 100 percent of all applications reviewed with scores on the 180 test scale. This chart should not be used as a gauge of the likelihood of admission, and certainly not as a guarantee.

This information is presented to give applicants some idea of
the likelihood of admission. It should be noted, however, that these data can
and do change from year to year. In addition, there is some latitude within each
category, so that a person presenting credentials at the upper limits of one
cell might have an excellent chance for admission, while another applicant at
the lower limits might only have a marginal chance. For these reasons, this
chart should be used as an approximate gauge of the likelihood of admission and
NOT as a guarantee.
