That sounds about right to me.mindybluehammer wrote:Are there really people of the opinion that if you aren't at a 170+ then you shouldn't bother going to ls?
What percentile is 170? like 95
That of course presumes perfect correlation between LSAT score and LS/job search success, which of course isn't the case, but looking prospectively going into law school, you should just assume it is, instead of just hoping to be an anomaly.
It also assumes no retakes.
