In Reply To: Which numbers don't matter, what matters is your index, which is a weighted average score. Most schools weight it 50/50 LSAT/UGPA, some a bit higher some a bit lower. If you're looking at a top ten school, you're going to have to have good numbers in both categories, since you just cannot compensate for a 150 LSAT, even with a 4.0, same thing goes for a 2.7 UGPA and a 175. This is assuming that you are white. The scores that are off the end in their table of admissions information are their diversity-admits. I know, I know, it's stressful, but try not to get too worked up about. (I have yet to take the LSAT, and write my statement...)
Message: I have yet to see one school weight the LSAT/GPA 50/50. Please let me know which ones do, since "most" do in your words.
