Merge this thread with the other one floating around.

Also, Berkeley with a BIG jump in 25% LSAT. 163 --> 166. Are they actually starting to care?

Where is that?

UCB doing it right

I definitely think Cornell will also hold strong but the T14 170s are at risk for 169s and CCN all have a chance to go down one (Would really be bad for NYU to fall 2 years in a row though)

HYS will hold medians, maybe GPAs will fluctuate down tho

I'm also interested to see where GULC goes. They slipped to 169 last cycle and the profile of people they're taking this year makes it seem like they may slip to 168.

[meadow201]

does UCB (which is generally known for liking GPAs) slipping in GPA mean HYS's GPAs will also slip by .01 or .02?

Reposting this from another thread:

FWIW, I received a PM claiming that Vandy told their students at orientation that they had a 163-167-168 LSAT spread, with similar GPAs to last year. Unverified rumor at this point--maybe a Vandy student can chime in publicly. But if true, this would be a median drop of 2 LSAT points from last year.

I have another source who told me that Alabama's GPA went up and their class size went down by 3 people to 146. No word on LSAT or official source for any of this yet.

And no surprise, I heard WUSTL was successful in locking down the 166 median.

Edit: Dean told them they had the same medians as last year: 166/3.7 with 187 students. (Down 19).

WM class is actually down, they combined LLM and JD, JD class size is actually 172.

Edit apparently admin misspoke at orientation. I think even for them it was hard to imagine more students w/o falling medians. For some unknown reason increased classed size and held medians, unreal in light of this cycle.

^ article error? "A new class of 228 J.D. students arrived"

@thread
Not surprised Duke (small class size and < 170 median) and Berkeley (low medians) were able to maintain medians. I'm wondering how large class sizes with >170 median lsats are doing. Namely, CLS, NYU, and Harvard.

[sinfiery]

Wow, bravo W&M

[MyNameIsFlynn!]

Wow, bravo W&M

Wonder how much $ they had to throw at folks to maintain both medians. very impressive

[crestor]

This shit is intense

[AT9]

Damn, I was hoping W&M would have dropped a point.

1 point drop in median LSAT and class size is smaller by 11.
