172/3.62, index 4.252

This is why I don't know what to make of index. My index is about 0.04 higher than this (4.29) and yet I think this guy has a way better shot at admission than I do with my ~170, ~3.9 given Columbia's preference for high LSATs.

You could be right; it's hard to say. That's why the poster above suggested that the best way to get a picture of one's changes to to take all of the following factors into account: index, GPA and LSAT relative to medians, and school's preference.

I'm definitely loving the fact that Columbia has started rendering some decisions. Sounds like there's hope for me to be notified in the month of December!

Edit: Then again, everyone who's heard so far was ED, right?

[rx3r]

Everyone that's heard was ED.

Also, I've put my real numbers on LSN for reference.

My actual index was 4.353, but on the sheet that went to Columbia it was counted as a 4.4 (I guess they round up).

Where do you see the index number that went to the school? I'm looking, but not seeing anything on LSAC.

look on the lsac report they send columbia. there should be an index number on the bottom left corner of the page

Well, by that logic, my 4.252 should be rounded up to the plateau Helm seems to consider "safe," hah. Of course, I didn't apply ED.

Either way, the most likely outcome remains that I will withdraw my CLS application before the decision is rendered (cross your fingers for my NYU ED). I shouldn't have let you ED folks tease me like this .

didnt get a chance to update my LSN until just now--

175/3.52 Index: 4.331

[nateDgr8]

I am an ED applicant with a 4.341 index just counting my highest LSAT but just a 4.251 index if I average my LSAT scores. I know they say that they consider both scores but I was hoping they'd just take my highest. Does anyone that was admitted today have two scores, and if so, does it seem like they just took your highest score?

I have multiple scores and I can't imagine I would have gotten in with either my first score or the average score.

I see it; thanks, guys.

[JollyGreenGiant]

Is it just me, or does that index number only apply to your LSAT score?

could you clarify that question? i didn't quite understand

[rx3r]

If it only applied to your LSAT score Helm's would be higher.

Am I looking at the right thing? Is it in bottom left hand box called "LSAT SCORE DATA"?

I have three indexes.. one upper, one lower, and one average. Cuz I re-took the LSAT.

[Lieut Kaffee]

0.045 (LSAT) + 0.559 (GPA) - 5.512 = INDEX

ex. 0.045(172) + 0.559(3.62) - 5.512 = 4.25158

That's interesting... I don't know, I only took the LSAT once.

[JollyGreenGiant]

I guess I was looking at the right thing. LSP tells me my index is 4.464 which, when rounded up, is 4.5 (which is what is stated on the Columbia report).

WL here I come!

Seems to be an above-WL type of index, but I don't know.

I have the same... Plus I can't find anything that would be my 'index'

[JollyGreenGiant]

I think if I EDed I'd be in, but RD I'm guessing WL. It's a shame for me, too.. because I don't have a real #1 right now (which is why I didn't ED). Hopefully my heart doesn't get set on Columbia any time soon because I think the disappointment is coming.

+1. That index should more than likely get you in.

In the same section it is all the way over to the right on the LSAT SCORE DATA box.

Or you could type your numbers in law school predictor and it tells you your index.

[puppleberry finn]

what is a "good" index? Mine is 4.5. What is that out of?

Oh, I am index-less, but I think I know why.
