Lowest GPA at HYSC
I'm just wondering, from your experiences, what is the lowest GPA you've heard of getting into Harvard, Yale, Stanford, or Columbia?

Re: Lowest GPA at HYSC
Just look at LSN. Appears to be roughly 3.5 for Harvard, 3.7+ for Yale/Stanford, and 3.3 for Columbia, this cycle.

Thanks! Just starting the law school journey and had never heard of that site. My bad.

Re: Lowest GPA at HYSC
For Yale, it's 3.49 for the class of 2015 as per: http://www.law.yale.edu/admissions/profile.htm
For Stanford, it was 3.3 for the class of 2014 as per: --LinkRemoved-- (2nd to last page)
Can't find school given statistics for Harvard or Columbia, but LSN is more accurate for showing you the possibility of you as an individual getting into said schools.

Re: Lowest GPA at HYSC
Keep in mind that the lowest GPA values are pretty much always for URM students. If you aren't racially one of the URM categories, the data is pretty useless to determining a "lowest possible" GPA to get into these schools.

Re: Lowest GPA at HYSC
Thanks to both of you. Ya, I am noticing the URM point on the LSN website... though it seems there are a few low GPAs for non-URMS, but only with extremely high LSATs.

Re: Lowest GPA at HYSC
Two of my friends got in to Harvard with 3.3 /177 ('06) and 3.4/178 ('97), but both were exceptional cases, and neither ended up attending. For all intents and purposes, there's a pretty rigid GPA floor.

Re: Lowest GPA at HYSC
If I can add a data point (not on LSN): Accepted to Harvard this cycle, 3.6 GPA, 174 LSAT. Middle-class white female.

3.1 177 non URM got Yale this cycle. But that could very well never happen again.

Lowest 3 non-URMs at Stanford this cycle according to LSN:
http://lawschoolnumbers.com/jimbo89 (3.53/172) (This guy has had a dream cycle)
http://lawschoolnumbers.com/usafgirl (3.56/176) (Ivy undergrad/4 years of active military service)
http://lawschoolnumbers.com/iVinshe (3.6/172) (Me; dual STEM major K-JD)
Then there's a big jump, and the next lowest GPA is a 3.73.
Lowest 3 non-URMs at Harvard this cycle according to LSN:
