Looking at LSN for the 2014-2015 cycle (since the data set for 2015-2016 was abnormally small), we see 44 applicants reporting > 173 and > 3.89. Of those, 37 reported receiving a decision (ding/WL/admit). Of those 37, 16 (~43.2%) were accepted, 4 (~10.8%) were WLed, and 17 (~45.9%) were rejected.
Looking at LSN for the 2014-2015 cycle (since the data set for 2015-2016 was abnormally small), we see 60 applicants reporting >= 173 and >= 3.89. Of those, 51 reported receiving a decision (ding/WL/admit). Of those 51, 23 (~45.1%) were accepted, 10 (~19.6%) were WLed, and 18 (~35.3%) were rejected.

Re: Yale c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
If it makes you feel better, when I put in my GPA (at 75th) and LSAT (above 75th) it gives me a 25% chance. I'm hoping i's just not useful with a sample size of like 4....KateMcKitten wrote:But you see, that doesn't give me a good outlook, like these rosy 50% numbers above.

I think above both medians nets you a 50% shot. After that, it stops mattering.HonestlyThough wrote:If it makes you feel better, when I put in my GPA (at 75th) and LSAT (above 75th) it gives me a 25% chance.

Seems about right, but the sample sizes also get uselessly small. At that point, knowing nothing about softs, years out of school, etc...predicting is uselessOneHandedEconomist wrote:I think above both medians nets you a 50% shot.

So, I guess we can stop refreshing our emails, right? Seems like this wave (or trickle) isn't really going anywhere.

While LSN may give me a 27% shot and myLSN may give me a 12% shot, this 45% is what I will cling to as I throw my lot in with numbers above mine. Thank yoooou!seeprybyrun wrote:

Heya! Yup, gravitating towards panic like a moth to light. I mean let's be real, if I'm waitlisted from Stanford, I don't have a shot in hell at Yale. And yet here I am, continuing to freak the fuck out like I juuuuuuuuuuuuust might. lmfaopretzeltime wrote:aw heyyy glad you popped over here where the uncertainty and misery is ongoing!NotPanicking wrote:Where's the option for "My anxiety is so bad my digestive system has disappeared?"
