In Reply To: Thanks for the CA rankings. I'm not counting on anything for the LSAT, especially given my SAT experience (1550-1600 on practice, 1410 on the real thing). But we'll see. What exactly do the 25-75 percentiles mean? I'm within the band for almost every school, assuming good LSATs (except Yale, where I'm a double legacy, whatever that's worth). Any idea what being at the 50th percentile means in terms of being a might get in versus a should get in? Thanks.
Message: The officialguide.lsac.org lsat/gpa search engine goes so far as to try to estimate percentage chances of getting into each school based on GPA/LSAT, so that this might be a worthwhile tool for you to understand "might" v. "should".
