Schools that focus on LSAT more than GPA? Forum

[mpasi]

How can find out which schools give more consideration to LSAT scores than they do with GPAs. I'm asking for obvious reasons.

I don't understand why you don't just go to LSN.com and look at where you stand at schools you are interested in.

Because I'm lazy. Also, LSN isn't as reliable as you think it is. People lie, ya know.

I'm thinking of every school ever...

Really though, if you have one number at or above the 75th and the other very near or at the median, you'll compete at most schools.

I just think you are being a little too vague to expect valuable help. How high is your LSAT? How low is your gpa? Where would you like to practice? Give a little more info, get a little more advice. ya, dig?

generally speaking...
if above 75th LSAT and below 25th GPA - chance of getting in
if above 75th GPA and below 25th LSAT - not a very good chance of getting in

most schools value your LSAT over your GPA

Somehow anonymous people on internet forums with no stats posted are more reliable?

go to law school predictor and it has weights for all schools given to LSAT and GPA

Is that the LSAT/ GPA column? I've always wondered exactly how to interpret that. Could someone explain?

Since no one answered should I assume that it's as obvious as it looks -- that the number in that column is a ratio of the importance of LSAT/GPA?? That just doesn't seem right to me. Some schools like New Mexico value LSAT more than 7X GPA. That would mean LSAT = about 75% of your application. GPA = 10%? And a school like Davis which I thought was somewhat GPA heavy weighs LSAT 4.62 times more? Can that be?
