Historical LSAT Median Data (for UG paper)

Post by Sacred Cow » Wed Nov 12, 2014 12:00 pm

I'm looking for LSAT medians for the T20 USNWR law schools from the past 10-15 years for a paper for a class I'm in. My group looked up old editions of USNWR, but it only listed the 25th/75th percentiles. Does anybody know where I could find the old medians? I will personally* bake cookies for anyone who helps!

*As in, I will personally bake cookies and then eat them myself. But you can go to sleep with the satisfaction that comes from helping some rando internet person.

Try LSAC.org

it may be more challenging than you think because they have used a calculated median in the past (25th + 75th/2).

Well, here's a start: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub ... SlE&gid=28

I guess you could call schools directly too.

I'm interested in this too. Law school applications this cycle will roughly be at the same level as in the late 90's. It would be interesting to compare medians from those years to the current medians.

I'd be very interested in a graph or comparison as well.

This will be a nice project. I did something similar in my stats class compiling admissions data across my public state schools by race in the past 20 years. Make some graphs and you might see some unexpected results.
