Cornell Applicants Numbers

Post by bballfreak56 » Tue Feb 16, 2010 10:35 pm

If I have a 3.2 GPA what would I need on an LSAT to get into Cornell? Im not at a well known college but really love Cornell, Fordham and BC as well as BU. What should I aim for on the LSAT to get in?

170+ for all if you want to be safe.

aim for a 180, but with that gpa, your going to have to get at very least a 170 i would say.

According to LSN, the lowest LSAT that will put you at 'Strong Consider' is 173. Looking at Cornell's LSN graph, there's been one person with a 170/3.2 admitted - but that person is URM.

As for Fordham/BC/BU it looks like a 170 would do it. If you can't break 170, you might want to try for PT at Fordham.

with a 3.2 you'd have to get at least a 170. even then you'd only have a 50/50 shot.

You can try any of the prediction websites (http://www.lawschoolpredictor.com, http://www.hourumd.com/, etc) or use yelgnit's Cornell formula he derived: 212.1 - 1.1 * GPA * ( 14.63 - GPA), round up to get your target LSAT for 'nell.

Cornell doesn't dip that low for GPAs, so you have an uphill climb with a 3.2. I'd aim for a 170+ to have a shot.
