I would lock the tab down though - people have a funny way of messing up spreadsheets...

Thanks for the assist! How do you go about locking tabs?

How big are the sample sizes for each quadrant? Great work!

It really depends. Most of them have 15-30. Some of the <25% ones are a little sparse, though, especially when the school's 25th is super low.

Awesome! Great work!

Yeah, I was just asking because for example, it appears that a 3.67-3.89 GPA has a better shot at Chicago with a 162-165 than a 166-169. There are similar results for Penn and Berkeley. That said, those are at best slightly below median stats anyways.

Yeah, for that example it's 1/12=8.3% vs 2/38=5.3%, with Penn it's 1/19=5.3% vs 1/45=2.2%

Small differences in percentages aren't meaningful here--it's the general tendencies that are interesting.

See, for instance, how you don't have a good chance at Berkeley unless you're above both medians and have at least one above a 75th, compared to at NYU where all you have to do is get a median LSAT or have a high GPA with a below median LSAT. Or look at Northwestern, who seemed to care more about their 75th LSAT than their median (and they suffered for it!).
