Top Law Schools

I've taken the LSAT, got low 160s, and am trying to get a better score this June. I just want to crack a T-14 school. Realistically, what LSAT would I need to get into NU, Mich, or wherever via ED?

EDIT: Also, I know about lsn, but I haven't found a way to just look at ED applicants there, and RD isn't representative of what I'm trying to do.

I think a 166 would be good enough for an ED to UVA. Anything else you would want a 168+ I would imagine. Lawschoolnumbers.com should be a good source for you to check as well.

I would say you'd be considered at the bottom T-14 with about a 165. Don't let that GPA go to waste. I would retake and shoot for upper 160's in your position.

Given that law schools generally give some kind of a boost to military personell, 170+ could give you a chance pretty much anywhere with that GPA.

I think you have a solid shot at NYU/Chicago's ED with 169-170. Columbia is (allegedly) tougher on its ED pool, so maybe not Columbia.

Mid 160s: ED lower T14
High 160s: ED CCN
170+: RD T14 including HYS
