Penn - YP? Love Softs?
So, from what I understand, the higher ranked a school is, the more difficult it is to typically be accepted. Yet, I noticed that despite LSP giving me a 72% chance, very few people accepted to Penn Law w/stats similar to mine (169, 4.0). Of course, the data on LSN and TLS stats is self-reported, but why do more people on this site and LSN get accepted to NYU, per se, than Penn? Does Penn YP 169s a lot? We're below their median LSAT. Do they love good softs?

Pretty much by definition, you can't get YP'd with a LSAT below median.vsl89 wrote:So, from what I understand, the higher ranked a school is, the more difficult it is to typically be accepted.

It's probably because Penn favors LSAT more than it should according to the formula used in law school predictor, but that's just a guess.
