How much will medians at T14 raise after this year?

I looked at the lsData and found the average LSAT for T14 is at least 172... but 172 is still in the 99% and is not easy to get.. I'm thinking about applying next cycle and I am super nervous...is 172 the new 169 for T14? I don't have a 3.9+ GPA (only 3.7) so I think LSAT is my hope for T14 but should I set a target at 174 172 is probably okay? Thanks for any insight.

I know this was a weird cycle, but I'd be shocked if medians jumped 3 points. No idea where you're getting average data for T13 schools; the official numbers won't be released until this fall.

You should set a target of 180 and then evaluate your chances (and the merits of a retake) based on your actual score. There is no benefit to trying to guess at what score you should "aim for" when you haven't taken the LSAT yet.

Thanks for your reply! I got the data from LSD numbers, a website that tracks law school applicants numbers and their admissions

Those data are self-reported, and therefore inherently unreliable, but you're missing a much bigger problem with your methodology: admits ≠ students.

LSData is a very limited sample.
