Inconsistent Data

Post by Bluex12 » Sun Jul 05, 2015 2:22 pm

There are numerous examples of inconsistent data between lawschoolnumbers, other sites, and what the schools actually report.

Take Notre Dame for instance: On lawschoolnumbers the 25% lsat is 161, median 166, and 75% 167. On the spreadsheet for the class of 2017 profile in this forum, it's 160/163/165, which is what Notre Dame reported and I assume is correct.

When I am browsing to see where I should be applying, should I look at the previous year's class profile to get a sense of their LSAT score, or is there some sort of overall average that lawschoolnumbers looks at that I should consider?

LSN may not have the most recent information. What you see on the school's website (and this forum) is the most accurate, and that's what you should look at to get a sense of the scores, IMO. The previous years' can be helpful as well, but I'd say the most recent is the most relevant.
