Top Law Schools

There are a bunch of sites for predicitions which one is the best? It seems to me that most leave out undergrad institution which is a pretty big factor.

lawschoolpredictor uses the numbers from lawschoolnumbers
those are the second the best

the best is actually probably using the the 'chance me' thread on TLS

Collective TLS knowledge is that unless it is HYP, ugrad institution it is not much of a factor. I like Law School Predictor -- don't know if it is the best or not.

Yeah, undergrad doesn't really matter so much.

200 seats, 100 undergraduate institutions.

lol which is a combination of all the predictors and the random mood of the person posting. Actually, pretty realistic.

Notre Dame will not give you a bump, brosef. Sorry.

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but why aren't more people citing the Official Guide on LSAC?

If you're a splitter though, I've found none are terribly useful. I got accepted in the first round of admits at NW, where I was a "Consider", and waitlisted at UVA, UMich, and Cornell - I was "Admit" at all of those.

I don't know LSAC's guide seems kind off, just from looking at it. Although, I know I don't have much chance at either school, LSAC suggests I have the same chance at NYU as at Michigan with a 3.55/170. It's my understanding I am definitely out at NYU, while Michigan could accept me if I'm lucky.

LSP is good for a general idea but often they are not accurate at showing schools that have GPA/LSAT floors. Some schools will flat out not accept you if you arent at a certain LSAT/GPA. LSN is good to see where people with your comparable numbers ended up last year, but a lot of the time they will have applied VERY late , or you never know how weak/strong their application was. A Ding with your comparable numbers might be because of 2 DUIs, a terrible PS, or something else. Looking at enough profiles you see the balance between numbers/applying late/softs/etc.

thanks for any1 who gave advice and did not use the word brosef

I'm sincerely hurt, jabroni.

If we didnt just lose to Tulsa I would be less sensitive

Lots of the top schools don't use it, but for the ones that do it's flippin' sweet!
