Ivy League with a 150's LSAT?
Does anyone know where I can find stats on the percentage of applicants with LSAT scores in the 150's who get into Ivy League schools? The Yale TLS profile asserts that someone got accepted with a 155, so I know its possible. I have also read somewhere that around 4% of people with 150's who apply get into these schools (however the person who wrote this didn't provide a source). If around 900 applicants are accepted at these schools, thats about 36 people per school. Is this right?

Only Ivy I can imagine taking someone with LSAT in their 150s is Cornell. And that's only if you are a URM. Even then I'd say it's a longshot.

This doesn't seem right. If around 160 150's are getting accepted to each of these schools then there would a lot more 150's attending; however, it can be reasonably assumed that there is very few if any 150's walking around at Ivy League schools.
Cornell is Ivy... I imagine about half the class is in the 150's... You'll be in good company.

False, their 25th percentile is a 165.

Ironically, Cornell is the school I am specifically referring to. I'm just trying to get a statistic. Even if it's 1% I'll be happy. That's around 40 people who'll get in. To me thats a shot.

See I'd think that person would more likely be a legacy-an extreme one, like the father was the President or something.

Well on LSN there are a few URMs with LSAT in their 150s who got in.
And yeah, if the dean of admissions is your aunt or something then I'm sure you have a great shot at getting in lolol.

Wouldn't this suggest that Cornell admits 4,000 students? Or am I just confused?

Yeah, OP fails horribly at math. Cornell only admits 200ish students. Even if it was 1% that's 2 students.

? I was unsure if you were sarcastic in your first post, but either way OP clearly doesn't know, and shouldn't be mislead.
And no, it's unlikely that I'll go to Cornell

Damn TLSers.

I'm pretty sure what he's saying is that if 4,000 people applied with numbers similar to his, 40 people will get in.

Actually Cornell only matriculate 200ish students. They admit a lot more. Carry on.

I stand corrected. Funny, I used LSP, thought that was updated.

That's what you get for arguing in a 150 thread.

what is your GPA and why haven't you considered retaking if you are shooting for Ivy (or T-14)?

Re: Ivy League with a 150's LSAT?
Last year, Yale took 1 out of 780 applicants who scored below 160, which was a 158. They also took 12/516 scores of 160-164.

Duke is the only other T14 that released a similar grid. They took 30/736 in the 155-159 range and 102/1279 in the 160-164 range.
