It’s based on reasonable extrapolation and common sense. LSAT/SAT are extremely similar in that they test analytical intellgence. There’s no reason to believe somehow Penn/Brown just picks kids that are particularly good at taking LSAT. It’d take an act of God if you want WashU students to average 5 points lower on LSAT than Penn students when the former already have higher SAT average. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Please look at the SAT range at WashU; the score is in the upper 1300s even at the 25th percentile. It’s silly to think there is a huge difference between the premeds and the nonpremeds at WashU; when you apply to WashU, you need very competitive scores, regardless of whether you are interested in premed or not. The admission doesn’t care either if you will be a premed. The self-selection you alleged, even if it exists, happens only after the admission process is finished and can’t create the kind of difference you hypothesized. Even at Georgetown, the difference in averege SAT is only 20 points between the SFS students and Arts&Sci students. I also like how you conveniently ignore Berkeley; could it because your goal here is just to ■■■■■?<br>
The point is to show that list is either wrong or very outdated. Any data from any school is valid. It’s not like Northwestern data is more relevant than others in this regard. You just totally missed the point over and over.</p>
