Ivy League with a 150's LSAT?

Post by jbles2 » Sat Dec 04, 2010 7:40 pm

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 :D

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.

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

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

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.
