Top Law Schools

I am looking for information about which schools tend to favor the LSAT grade over the UGPA among the top 14 schools.

Thanks!

Boalt. lsat median --167

Flame.

Columbia, NYU, GULC are the credited responses here.

Northwestern also seems to prefer high LSATs rather than high GPAs.

cornell?

if you get a 175+, but your gpa is under 3, you likely won't be so hot at a t-14. your LSAT isn't a diamond in the rough anymore. i'd say apply all over, because it might be a bit unpredictable.

i know BOALT has a reputation for accepting high 160s with ridiculous GPA's, but if you had a 3.0 and 175 for example, i'd apply across the board from Columbia down. one might bite, and you can probably get a lot of fee waivers.

You will NOT get into Boalt with a 3.0 and a 175 absent some extraordinary background. This poster is a fool.

Northwestern is the best high LSAT splitter school if you wait a year or two after UG to apply. Penn also likes high LSAT, but not as extreme of splitters.

edit: Oh, it's that Ave Maria dude. Nevermind.
