The Yale TLS profile asserts that someone got accepted with a 155, so I know its possible. I have also read somewhere that around 4% of people with 150's who apply get into these schools (however the person who wrote this didn't provide a source). For 4,000 applicants thats 160 people. This doesn't seem right. If around 160 150's are getting accepted to each of these schools then there would a lot more 150's attending; however, it can be reasonably assumed that there is very few if any 150's walking around at Ivy League schools.

Cornell is Ivy... I imagine about half the class is in the 150's... You'll be in good company.

False, their 25th percentile is a 165.

See I'd think that person would more likely be a legacy-an extreme one, like the father was the President or something.

Well on LSN there are a few URMs with LSAT in their 150s who got in.

And yeah, if the dean of admissions is your aunt or something then I'm sure you have a great shot at getting in lolol.

Ironically, Cornell is the school I am specifically referring to. I'm just trying to get a statistic. Even if it's 1% I'll be happy. That's around 40 people who'll get in. To me thats a shot.

Wouldn't this suggest that Cornell admits 4,000 students? Or am I just confused?

Yeah, OP fails horribly at math. Cornell only admits 200ish students. Even if it was 1% that's 2 students.

False again, it's 166.

Actually Cornell only matriculate 200ish students. They admit a lot more. Carry on.

That's what you get for arguing in a 150 thread.

I have also read somewhere that around 4% of people with 150's who apply get into these schools (however the person who wrote this didn't provide a source). If around 900 applicants are accepted at these schools, thats about 36 people per school. Is this right?
