How important are numbers in the Admissions Committee's decision?

We will evaluate your entire application. Your LSAT score and GPA will constitute about two thirds of our decision.
Please be sure to detail your experiences, skills, interests, and strengths in your application, personal statement, and résumé.

Probably a crappy school if they actually go so far as to give a percentage.

Also probably lying.

Google tells me Hawaii.

In reality:

We will evaluate your entire application. Your LSAT score and GPA and URM status will constitute about three-thirds of our decision.
Please be sure to detail your experiences, skills, interests, and strengths in your application, personal statement, and résumé.

Thats BS. If your numbers are high enough you can get an auto-admit, low enough, auto-deny. So in many cases numbers can be 100%.

Complete bullshit! I've heard the LSAT alone counts for upwards of 70% at most top schools. GPA is probably the other 29. The remaining 1 - who cares.....

....unless you're black

It really depends on the school. HYS routinely receive applicants who are more than well qualified on numbers alone, but often reject them because they offer nothing unique other than their academic prowess. The problem with numbers is that they can be very similar, more so than other admission criteria. In the truly elite schools (T5/T6), you need to have the numbers as a basic qualification, but you will get in more often than not on other outstanding attributes.

YS moreso than H (prob due to H's large class size). But they are the exception rather than the rule.

Out of the T14 it is still more uncommon than not, out of all 200 law schools it is exceedingly rare.

Some schools love numbers. Some dont. Check LSN, LSAC's guide, and LSP.

LSP put me at a 16% Deny. UGA loves LSAT and I got in.

If you dont mind me asking, what did you end up with on your LSAT?

I am dubious as to the accuracy of the predictor because it put me at "strong consider" for fordham p/t, and "admit" for Cardozo p/t and Brooklyn p/t with a 158/3.95. I hope it's right though!!!!
