Which Website to go off of..

Post by kwabbs » Fri Oct 31, 2014 1:34 am

I've been trying to utilize all of the law school predictors online but I feel like the %'s vary.. On LSAC I've got a greater than 75% of getting into a certain school, then on other sites it's barely 50%. Do you have any recommendations for which site to go off of? I want to believe LSAC is the most accurate but I definitely am not sure.

Thank you, just trying to understand it at this point.. I was looking at Colorado Boulder in particular.. with my scores and submitting my app only in november it was green. Then when I said "any time" it was a definite red.. Any explanation for that? Also I'm assuming it only shows the top 48 schools?

I haven't posted enough on here to do a screen shot but It shows #48 University of Houston and then doesn't show me any other schools.

What kind of comparison are you looking for?

If chances:
http://www.mylsn.info/

If employment outcomes:

http://www.lawschooltransparency.com

Beyond that, what are you looking to know?

I'm trying to compare my chances but mylsn.info only goes to #48.. shows boulder but not denver since denver is #68.

Just feel like all the websites are so different with chance %'s

Use mylsn for chances for boulder, ignore Denver, as your chances are better there.

Honestly, if you can't get CU-Boulder for a good scholly, it's probably not worth it to go to school in Colorado.

I'll defer to Lord Randolph McDuff on that one, but I think he'll agree.

The site is only showing up to 48 because you are using the "Automatic" feature. If you switch to "Normal" and enter a range it'll show all Tier 1 schools.

The reason, if you're curious, is that the automatic calibration uses a lot of system resources. It also uses more resources the less data there is, and, statistically, most users are on the higher end in terms of both numbers and schools. Running the auto search for all the schools would be too much for the computer to reasonably handle.

The predictor websites are using mathematical formulas to reach an absolute conclusion. LSN is much more useful.
