what are your "college means" for GPA and LSAT? Forum

[coolymx]

Hey, I've always wondered when people say grades are "inflated" at certain schools, whether it is actually the case or just a perception. And also I think it's just intersting to find out what the GPA and LSAT means are at different universities (according to the LSAC reports) to see who has the "best" students

I'll start. I'm from York University in Canada and our data is not very impressive....

College mean GPA: 3.11
College mean LSAT: 149 (somewhat miraculous considering 32% of LSAT takers from my school score lower than the 25th percentile....)

Where do you even get this data? I would like to know how my school stands.

University of California, Davis

Mean GPA: 3.13
Mean LSAT: 155

Would be fascinating to see how UCD compares to other UCs.

[whymeohgodno]

Johns Hopkins University

Mean GPA: 3.35
Mean LSAT: 161

both avg GPA and LSAT were higher than I expected...

Wow 3.35 average GPA. That's pretty high. I'm guessing my uni to be around there also...seems like almost every private university inflates these days.

UCSB

3.35 is not so bad. I thought it would actually be higher at private universities.

On second thought, 3.35 is not so high as I think only people with fairly good gpas would be applying to law school.

I was going to post mine, but I see someone already did! The GPA is higher than I expected too, but then I thought back to how every time I ever went into the library it was hard to find a place on M, A, or B level, and I realized that Hopkins students just spend way too much time studying.. hence the higher than expected GPA.

FYI I looked up what the avg GPA for all JHU undergraduates have been for the past few years, and they were around a 3.2, pretty close to what I would expect it to be.
