<p>One final note, here’s a link to another thread I started that has the law school placement stats from places like Yale and Princeton and Georgetown:</p>

<p>Again, if anyone knows or has current data on Chicago’s success on the law front, that would be great. Until we get that data, it’s pretty much all speculation. </p>
<p>My hope is that Chicago has improved considerably on this front since my time at the U of C. Again, with a much stronger overall student body, I’m hopeful this is the case. At the same time, given the lack of savvy amongst U of C applicants about the process, and perhaps not as much careful preparation for the LSAT, I’m being a bit reserved in my hope… </p>
<p>(I really wish Chicago had this data available on their website just as UPenn or Georgetown do. It’d put this debate to rest quite readily.)</p>
<p>One final note, here’s a breakdown of percentiles and specific LSAT scores:</p>

<p>So, a 166 is in the 95%tile for all test takers, whereas a 162 (Chicago’s average) is only in the 89%percentile. That’s a significant gap between Chicago and Yale.</p>
